Jayda Fransen: Twitter suspends Britain First leader retweeted by Donald Trump

The deputy leader of far-right party Britain First, who was retweeted by Donald Trump, has been suspended from Twitter. Party leader Paul Golding also had his account suspended, it emerged on Monday, and The Independent understands they were taken down by Twitter because they contravene the company’s new policy prohibiting “groups that affiliate with organisations that use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes”. Twitter began enforcing stricter anti-abuse rules on Monday following heavy criticism for failing to tackle online abuse and extremism.
