Twitter U-turns over banning white nationalist

Richard B Spencer's account reinstated weeks after being suspended as part of wider crackdown on hateful conduct from 'alt-right' members

Twitter has reinstated the account of Richard B Spencer, a self-styled white nationalist leader who was suspended from the service in the wake of a much publicised crackdown on hateful conduct.

Spencer's account was initially suspended on 15 November, as part of a sweeping move against leaders of the "alt-right", a far-right movement which has been resurgent in America since the election of Donald Trump.
