Highlights
  • Connolly, whose husband Ray is a Tory councillor, left HMP Peterborough in a taxi after serving 40% - 10 months - of her sentence and will remain on licence for the rest of it.
  • There is no arguable basis on which it could be said that the sentence imposed by the judge was manifestly excessive.
  • Reforming's Nigel Farage, whose party have long campaigned for Connolly's release, meanwhile said he was 'delighted that she is free at last', telling me that 'her unfair punishment makes her an important figure as we fight to get free speech back'.
