He denied further charges of using threatening words or behaviour in Dover on April 1, and obstructing a person engaged in a lawful activity on April 6.

Thomas faces spending Christmas behind bars after being remanded in custody this week ahead of his trial next year, accused of criminal damage of a boat in the English Channel.

He denies criminal damage after he allegedly slashed a boat in the English Channel with an emergency responder on board on September 22.

Thomas also denied failing to disclose the Pin to his phone to police, under Section 53 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.

The maximum sentence if convicted of criminal damage valued at more than £5,000 is 10 years’ imprisonment, according to the Sentencing Council.

But if the damage is valued lower than £5,000 the maximum sentence could be a fine and three months’ jail time.

His barrister described the allegation as ‘politically charged and fundamentally flawed’.
