The deputy leader of far-right group Britain First has been re-arrested after appearing in a Belfast court over a speech she gave in the city.

Jayda Fransen, 31, of Beeches Close, Anerley, London, was in court over two charges relating to behaviour intended to or likely to stir up hatred.

Her lawyer told the court that she intended to plead not guilty.

Britain First leader Paul Golding, 35, was also arrested outside the courtroom before the hearing.

Mr Golding was accompanying Ms Fransen to the hearing.

The police confirmed they have arrested a 35-year-old man as part of their investigation into the “Northern Ireland Against Terrorism” rally in August.

It is believed Ms Fransen has been re-arrested over social media posts she made from a peace wall in Belfast on Wednesday.

Peace walls are used to separate Catholic and Protestant residents in areas where tension between the two communities can run high.
