Activist Daniel Thomas, also known as Danny Tommo, has admitted criminal damage after slashing a migrant dinghy with a knife in the English Channel.

The 37-year-old changed his plea to the single charge when he appeared via video link from prison at Portsmouth Crown Court on Thursday.

A court previously heard that he had taken a boat into the English Channel and observed the migrant occupants of a dinghy being assisted by the RNLI lifeboat charity, Border Force and the French Coastguard.
