LONDON—A self-declared “British fascist” who admitted sharing terrorist publications on Telegram has been sentenced to six years and eight months after a judge partially rejected his claim his actions were “reckless” and not an attempt to encourage terrorist attacks.

Kristofer Kearney, 38, will have to serve four years and eight months in custody, with the rest on licence.
