The Mail Online is investigating after a website set up by a prominent British anti-Muslim activist republished some of its stories word for word without permission.

Former Britain First deputy leader Jayda Fransen, 33, told her Instagram followers she was launching a new "venture" after leaving the far-right political party earlier this year.

She directed people to sign up for her new website, called Jayda Fransen Online, where she wrote: "The Time is short, and a war is coming. I am ready for it, but the question is... are YOU?"

Alongside updates about her various legal cases and videos of appearances on far-right YouTube channels, Jayda Fransen Online has been publishing news articles on various topics like Islam, migrants, and abortion.

BuzzFeed News found 28 articles that Fransen has published in the last 40 days that have been reproduced in part or in full from mainstream news websites. Several have only a few words removed, while others contain the same spelling mistakes from the original news articles.
