She claimed the platform is used to ‘spread disinformation and lies’ after the Conservatives’ win, explained in an impassioned message on Instagram.
The singer has limited her social media presence following a furious tweet from Piers Morgan, who wrote: ‘I think I speak for Britain when I say if @lilyallen doesn’t like it here, why doesn’t she f*** off?’
In a series of posts on Instagram, the media personality shared her reasons behind deleting her account, insisting the platforms ‘have given a voice to the far right’.

Lily said: ‘It’s been reported that I deleted my Twitter because I couldn’t handle the abuse and humiliation that I got in the wake of my comments.
‘I deleted my Twitter because I really believe that these platforms have given a voice to the far right, and they use them to spread disinformation and lies, which will win them elections and ruin people’s lives. If they didn’t exist we wouldn’t be here.
‘I want to delete my Instagram too but I am just not there yet. I so wish I was.’

‘I think that racism and misogyny runs so so deep in this country and that Boris won because of his attitude towards those things and not in spite of them.’ [sic]
She retweeted a post which read: ‘Vote for your kids to die with no healthcare and less brown ppl but the joke is capitalism needs cheap foreign workers to exploit so will NEVER reduce immigration so jokes on.’
