Twitter suspends Britain First leaders as it enforces new anti-abuse rules

Jayda Fransen and Paul Golding suspended as social media platform takes steps to protect those targeted by abuse

Twitter has suspended the accounts of the leader and deputy leader of Britain First, a far-right group recently retweeted by Donald Trump, under the terms of its revised anti-abuse rules.

Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen's accounts were unavailable on Monday afternoon hours after the social network's new rules came into effect. The organisation's main account was also suspended.
