Hanson seeks meeting with jailed activist

Pauline Hanson is hoping to meet with a prominent jailed right-wing activist while she is on a five-day parliamentary trip to the UK and Europe.

Former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson was arrested a week ago for using social media to broadcast details of a trial which is subject to blanket reporting restrictions.

Robinson, who was listed by his real name Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon on court documents, was sentenced to 13 months in jail on the same day as his arrest.

"I support you and I hope I can get to see you and bring the messages from the Australian people to you, because I can tell you, you're not alone," Senator Hanson said in a video posted to social media.

Senator Hanson told reporters in London she would not be commenting on her NSW colleague Brian Burston, who she has asked to stand aside after a split over corporate tax cuts.

The One Nation leader's itinerary includes meetings with British experts in counter-terrorism, online abuse and security, energy regulation and health.
