Lucy Connolly has been warned that she may be recalled to prison over her recent posts on social media. The former childminder was released from prison in August after being sentenced to 31 months behind bars over a post she made in the aftermath of the Southport attacks. The 42-year-old served a total of 380 days in prison before being released on licence, with strict conditions akin to those placed on serious offenders. She was cautioned that any breaches of the conditions or instances of re-offending could see her in jail once again.

Now, she has said she was handed a “warning letter” after reposting a comment asking President Donald Trump to capture Sir Keir Starmer in a Venezuela-style operation.On Wednesday, Ms Connolly said she had been told her posts were “not of good behaviour”.She said she had reposted one which read: “Could Trump could come and take Starmer like they did in Venezuela.”“Apparently… somebody called probation and said they were very offended by this post and it’s inciting violence,” Ms Connolly added.The former childminder added that since her release from prison, she has not posted anything on social media that could be seen as offensive or incitement.Ms Connolly said she has also been cautioned for comments made about British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah and about her daughter not being offered a place at a school in her area. Mr Abd el-Fattah was given a warm welcome back to Britain by Sir Keir Starmer, but his social media posts then reemerged which appeared to show him referring to Britons as “dogs and monkeys”.He later apologised, saying he “should have known better”, but claimed he had been left “shaken” by the public outcry over his own words.FREE SPEECH – READ THE LATEST:’Appalling!’ A THIRD of students want Reform UK banned from universitiesUS promises to unleash ‘full range of tools’ against Keir Starmer to protect free speech in Britain’Not free speech, but harm!’ GB News guest engulfed in row over No10 tiptoeing towards X banMs Connolly suggested it would helpful if the authorities were to provide a list of “things she was allowed to say” due to the threats of recall when she posts “something they don’t agree with”.The original post which the 42-year-old was jailed for called for deportations and to “set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the b******* for all I care”. It was taken down fewer than four hours later. Ms Connolly was invited to appear at the Reform UK conference in September – where she was introduced to the crowd as a “living symbol of two-tier Britain” and “Britain’s favourite political prisoner”.She described Nigel Farage’s party as “the future” and previously said she would “love” to work with it. As well as Reform, the length of Ms Connolly’s sentence was condemned by leading Tory politicians, including Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Kemi Badenoch. The case also drew criticism from high-profile figures from across the Atlantic, with Elon Musk describing it as evidence of Britain’s “two-tier justice system”.It also caught the attention of the late conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, who told GB News that what she said “would not be any prison time in America” and showed how the UK had become a “totalitarian country”.
