Paypal stops handling payments for Tommy Robinson

Paypal has told former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson it will no longer process payments on his behalf.

Mr Robinson said the online payments system told him he did not fit within its user guidelines and would never be able to use the platform again.

In a statement, Paypal said it could not comment on individual customers but added that it regularly reviewed accounts to ensure their use aligned with its acceptable use policy. Accounts that broke its policies would be closed, it said.

Paypal added: "We do not take decisions like these lightly, and we work hard to be rigorous and fair-minded when reviewing PayPal accounts.

"Striking the necessary balance between upholding free expression and open dialogue and protecting principles of tolerance, diversity and respect for all people is a challenge that many companies are grappling with today."
