Lucy Connolly says she is being threatened with a return to prison after probation officers sent her a warning letter about her social media posts in recent weeks, including a tongue-in-cheek post about Venezuela. The Mail has more.

The former childminder from Northampton was jailed for 31 months in October 2024 for stirring up racial hatred against asylum seekers after the Southport murders.

She was released from prison last August after serving 40% of her sentence and has been serving the remainder on licence under the probation service’s supervision.

But the 42 year-old claims she has now been sent a “warning letter” after retweeting a comment on X appearing to joke that President Donald Trump should remove Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the same way the US seized Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

Connolly said she was also warned about an interview she gave GB News last month about activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who returned to the UK after being released from detention in Egypt before attracting criticism over his past social media posts.

She served 380 days in prison but could be returned to jail if she commits any further offences before her licence period is over or breaches her release conditions.

Connolly told Dan Wootton’s Outspoken show yesterday: “I am at the stage now – my original tweet aside, we’re not talking about that, we’re not talking about those words – I generally don’t know what is okay by their standards to say and what is not.

“I’ve been pulled up for several things last week with a warning letter which is telling me that it’s not of good behaviour. And none of which I’m in agreeance with.”

It comes after she retweeted a message by X user ‘The Jackal’ who wrote on January 3rd: “Dear @realDonaldTrump – now you’ve taken out the socialist Venezuelan undemocratic PM, any chance you can pop over to the UK and do the same here? @Keir_Starmer is a complete c**t. Thanks muchly – Great Britain.”

The Jackal’s post was retweeted 5,700 times, liked 44,000 times, viewed 533,000 times and attracted 1,200 comments.

Connolly told Wootton: “I reshared a tweet of someone else’s where they jokingly, you know, tongue-in-cheek, said, ‘could you come and get… if Trump could come and take Starmer like they did, you know, in Iran, sorry, in Venezuela’.
