Some mobile users are also unable to read or post tweets to the network, which has over 300 million active members.

Twitter chose to communicate the problem via a tweet, in which the firm said it was aware of the problem.

A spokesman for Twitter said that a tweet from the company's @support account read: 'Some users are currently experiencing problems accessing Twitter. We are aware of the issue and are working towards a resolution.'

The issue began shortly after 0800 GMT, according to Down Detector.

For some, the site appears to be intermittently accessible while the issue persists.
