A Conservative councillor said he is “heartbroken” that his wife’s appeal bid against her 31-month sentence for inciting racial hatred has been dismissed at the Court of Appeal.

Raymond Connolly said the court had shown Lucy Connolly “no mercy”, and she had paid a “very high price” for her post on X, formerly Twitter, which followed the Southport attacks.

Mrs Connolly was jailed at Birmingham Crown Court in October last year for the July 29 post that said: “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the b******* for all I care… if that makes me racist so be it.”

On Tuesday Lord Justice Holroyde, Mr Justice Goss and Mr Justice Sheldon refused her application to appeal.

In a statement issued by a spokesperson, Mr Connolly said the decision to dismiss his wife Lucy’s appeal was “shocking and unfair”.
