Would appreciate follows on the twitter account, which may be dead for a day or two, but will be active soon.”Dawson did not respond to questions about who ran Britain’s Future before he joined and who hired him.

Facebook did not respond to specific questions about about Britain’s Future’s advertising on its platform.

When one posted personal details about Dawson, Ryan alerted fellow activists in one of their groups: “Please all report this tweet as containing personal information, but don’t engage with the thread at all.
