His original suspended sentence was for contempt of court. He was arrested in Leeds for suspected breach of peace.
No, charged with contempt of court for interfering with a trial last year, received a suspended sentence and a warning not to do it again, then did it again so his sentence was no longer suspended.

Exactly. If you saw the video in question you would not be confident that the charge of ‘breach of peace’ was fair. And the reason they couldn’t charge him with contempt of court for Leeds was probly because he didn’t discuss anything that was not in the public news already

Except, they did charge him with precisely that (and yes, in Leeds). The arrest for breach of peace was because his actions, like exchanging insults with the defendants as they entered the court, put himself and others in danger.

They nabbed him for what he might do, not what he did do. They didn’t want to scuttle an extremely expensive court case. But the discussion against him should be honest in discussing that..
