Opening the case, prosecutor Naeem Valli said Connolly also sent a message saying she intended to work her notice period as a childminder “on the sly” – despite being de-registered.
Mr Valli added: “She then goes on to say that if she were to get arrested she would ‘play the mental health card’.”
The court heard Connolly, who had no previous convictions, also sent another tweet commenting on a sword attack, which read: “I bet my house it was one of these boat invaders.”
Another X post sent by Connolly – commenting on a video posted by the far right activist Tommy Robinson – read “Somalian I guess” and was accompanied by a vomiting emoji.
Connolly appeared before the court via a video link to HMP Peterborough while her husband, councillor Raymond Connolly, watched the proceedings from the public gallery.
