Trump Bannon row: 'Not the Steve Bannon you are looking for'

Steve Bannon was not at all surprised by the messages he began receiving on 3 January. After controversial claims by the former chief strategist to US President were published, the predictable social media storm ensued.
However, this Steve Bannon is not the head of right-wing website Breitbart News nor is he the former White House strategist but a father of three from the UK, who happens to have the same name and the Twitter handle @SteveBannon.
As he puts it in his online description he's "nothing to do with US politics or running the White House, etc."

A heated debate has taken place after extracts from an upcoming book by journalist Michael Wolff, which claims to lift the lid on the Trump administration and extensively quotes Mr Bannon, were released.
The President's lawyers have since served Mr Bannon with a cease-and-desist notice accusing him of defaming the president.
The story has caused a huge reaction on social media. The term 'Steve Bannon' has been used more than 424,000 times on Twitter and 165,000 times in public posts on Facebook since Wednesday.
