The company behind Tommy Robinson’s Union Jack emblazoned range of merchandise, actually made in Bangladesh, will be dissolved.

Companies House shows Nation Wear Limited, who sell the range of ‘patriotic’ t-shirts, caps and key rings, will be ‘dissolved via compulsory strike-off’.

It means the company has been forcibly removed from the official register and will no longer exist from Tuesday.

Even so, the website is still taking orders for Union Jack flags and other plain polo shirts.

The anti-Muslim, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been furiously promoting the clothing range ahead of his march on central London before it was revealed they weren’t made in this country by British workers.

Robinson’s merch range was actually manufactured in Bangladesh, a majority Muslim country, the Daily Mail revealed.

The label on the products, that only arrive after the obligatory 14-day shipping from Asia, actually say ‘Made in Bangladesh’.

The manufacturer is a Belgian company called Stanley/Stella which have 11 suppliers based in Bangladesh and one located in China, according to a Fair Wear audit last year.

The foundation’s report says the Brussels company pays its Bangladeshi workers the equivalent of around 36p per hour and has been previously accused of running sweatshops.

Yaxley-Lennon has furiously denied he was a ‘thug’ after he was invited to Israel by Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli.

Chikli posted on X, inviting Robinson to visit in mid-October in the wake of the Manchester terror attack.

But the Jewish Leadership Council distanced itself from the activist, replying: ‘Tommy Robinson is a thug who represents the very worst of Britain. His presence undermines those genuinely working to tackle Islamist extremism and foster community cohesion.

‘Minister Chikli has proven himself to be a Diaspora Minister in name only. In our darkest hour, he has ignored the views of the vast majority of British Jews, who utterly and consistently reject Robinson and everything he stands for.’

But Robinson waded in: ‘Being willing to defend yourself doesn’t make you a thug it makes you a man.

‘I have a right to defend myself as Israel has the right defend itself [sic].’

But James Cleverley suggested the invitation did not come from Israel but instead ‘a member of the Israeli government’.

Speaking at a Conservative Party Conference event, he reiterated: ‘I think it’s a foolish move on behalf of the individual that did that.

‘Tommy Robinson and others of his ilk are now wrapping themselves up in a pro-Jewish, pro-Israeli posture because basically, it’s an opportunity to do what they really want to do, which is to be anti-Muslim.

‘So, I think it’s an error, I’ve said so, and Tommy Robinson is no friend of the Jewish community, whether it be in the UK or anywhere else in the world.’
