It is alleged the teenager owned a publication called 100 Deadly Skills in January last year, and a copy of The White Resistance Manual between November 13, 2020 and January 9 last year.

At a brief hearing at Manchester Crown Court a trial date of April 25 was fixed.

Judge Alan Conrad QC re-bailed Yates until his trial later this year.
