She daily courts controversy with comments on race, religion and immigration.

There has been – ironically – a campaign on Twitter to have her account closed.

Ms Hopkins was suspended by Twitter in January.

This time the ban is permanent.

Twitter said: “Keeping Twitter safe is a top priority for us – abuse and hateful conduct have no place on our service and we will continue to take action when our rules are broken.”
