Britain could ban Elon Musk’s X amid a row over its AI undressing women and children in photographs.

Sir Keir Starmer said yesterday that he had asked media regulator Ofcom for “all options to be on the table” after it emerged that child sexual abuse images had been generated using X’s AI chatbot, Grok.

No 10 sources pointed to the full powers of the Online Safety Act, which include fines of billions of pounds or even blocking access to X in Britain. The social media site has around 650 million users worldwide including 20 million in the UK.

The Prime Minister said: “This is disgraceful. It’s disgusting and it’s not to be tolerated.

“X need to get their act together and get this material down – and we will take action on this because it’s simply not tolerable.”

The warning came as X users continued to generate thousands of pictures of women and children undressed using Grok’s AI, including in sexualised poses and in bikinis.

The so-called deepfakes have included images of the Princess of Wales, cabinet ministers, MPs and celebrities.

No 10 sources pointed to the full powers of the Online Safety Act, which include fines of billions of pounds or even blocking access to X in Britain. The social media site has around 650 million users worldwide including 20 million in the UK.

The Prime Minister said: “This is disgraceful. It’s disgusting and it’s not to be tolerated.

The warning came as X users continued to generate thousands of pictures of women and children undressed using Grok’s AI, including in sexualised poses and in bikinis.

The so-called deepfakes have included images of the Princess of Wales, cabinet ministers, MPs and celebrities.

On Wednesday, a UK internet watchdog warned it had uncovered images created with Grok that had been shared on a dark web forum that would constitute illegal child sexual abuse material.

It is understood that No 10 has raised the images directly with X, formerly known as Twitter, which Mr Musk acquired for $44bn (£33bn) in 2022.

Sir Keir told Greatest Hits Radio: “X has got to get a grip of this and Ofcom has our full support to take action in relation to this. This is wrong.

“It’s unlawful. We’re not going to tolerate it. I’ve asked for all options to be on the table.”

The row threatens to deepen a rift with the US over free speech. The White House has accused Labour of backsliding over freedom of expression and Donald Trump has directly criticised the UK’s tech rules as “not a good thing”.

Mr Musk – who is the world’s richest man – has criticised Britain’s Online Safety Act, claiming the law’s purpose is the “suppression of the people”.

the business soon after.

Louise Haigh, a former transport secretary under Sir Keir, urged the Government and the Labour Party to delete its X accounts.

She said: “The enablement, if not encouragement, of child sexual abuse mean it is unconscionable to use the site for another minute.”

X’s images have also provoked anger in the US. Ted Cruz, a Republican senator, called the AI pictures “unacceptable” and a violation of a US law banning AI revenge porn.

Mr Musk said this week: “Anyone using Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content”.

X was contacted for comment.

STATEMENT:
Monday 05th January 2026.

“Reform UK Faces Fallout After Sheffield East Disciplinary Row”

“A serious and still-unfolding dispute within Reform UK has left the party’s Sheffield East branch effectively dismantled and is raising wider questions about governance, fairness, and due process within the party. The allegations are said to have contained the wrong date of the incident, a mistake that has still not been corrected. Political parties are private organisations, but they are expected to follow their own constitutions and rules. If Reform UK cannot follow its own rules or state the correct date, this could potentially lead to questions about its ability to run a country”

Those affected have made the following allegations about Reform UK, which the party disputes:

misused emergency powers,
failed to investigate before sanctioning members,
denied basic rights of defence and appeal, and
retrospectively reinterpreted its own constitution.

“The controversy stems from a candidate interview process held on 10 November 2025 by members of the then Reform Sheffield East branch. The interviews followed standard assessment practices, including role-play exercises intended to test how prospective candidates might handle real constituent issues. One scenario involved a same-sex couple presenting a local concern. All participants consented to the process, which was conducted professionally and without complaint at the time”.

Despite this, on 21st November, eleven days after the interviews, six of the twelve individuals involved in the interview process were abruptly suspended by the party’s General Secretary, citing allegations of inappropriate conduct and breaches relating to filming. Furthermore, during this eleven-day period, further candidate interviews were conducted with the approval of both the Regional Director and the County Coordinator, which those affected say suggests there was no urgency.

It is alleged that emergency disciplinary powers were invoked with seemingly little investigation, without any evidence being disclosed, and on the basis of an incorrect interview date. Those affected question what apparent urgency, public risk, or electoral pressure justified the use of emergency procedures eleven days after the event.

Four of those suspended were later permanently expelled, including three branch officers. Following the expulsions, the branch treasurer resigned in protest, leaving the branch effectively non-functional. The fallout has extended beyond Sheffield East, with several potential candidates leaving Reform UK. Some have joined Advance UK, while others have indicated they will also resign from Reform UK.

Alleged breaches of the party’s own rules
Those expelled and disciplined argue that the disciplinary process breached multiple provisions of Reform UK’s constitution and branch rules. They say they were denied basic rights of natural justice, including access to the original complaint, disclosure of evidence, and the identity of complainants. They were required to answer written questions that assumed guilt and were given only two days to respond after being provided with the relevant rules.

A disciplinary hearing on 5 December 2025 did not permit the accused to attend, make oral submissions, call witnesses, or challenge the allegations. Although an outcome was promised by 8 December, the decision was issued eight days later, with no explanation given for the delay. The decision letter asserted that an appeal had already been heard, despite no separate appeal hearing taking place and no independent appeal panel being convened, as required by the constitution.

In a subsequent letter, the party secretary sought to justify this and other failings by arguing that the emergency disciplinary panel also served as the appeal body and that written submissions alone satisfied constitutional requirements. Critics say this interpretation is not supported by the constitution, which explicitly requires appeals to be heard by a fresh panel chaired by an independent figure.

Claims of inconsistency
Questions have also been raised about unequal treatment. Only six of the twelve people involved were suspended; four were expelled; others received lesser or no sanctions; and at least one individual allegedly involved faced no disciplinary action at all. No explanation has been offered for this disparity. The chairperson of the interview panel, the person with the authority to stop the event, was not suspended or disciplined in any way.

Another key issue concerns an allegation of improper recording. The rule cited applies only to formal branch meetings, defined as meetings open to all eligible branch members. Candidate interviews, critics argue, do not fall within that definition, meaning one of the headline allegations may rest on a misapplication of the party’s own rules, again raising questions about Reform’s suitability to govern.

Wider implications
Those affected say the episode represents not a single procedural error but a systemic failure in governance, including the misuse of emergency powers, denial of fair hearings and appeals, and inconsistent application of sanctions.

The dispute has already caused lasting damage to Reform UK’s organisation and credibility in Sheffield. Observers warn that unless the party addresses the issue transparently and in line with its own constitutional safeguards, the reputational harm may ultimately outweigh the original allegations that triggered the crisis. Those involved also argue that the existing complaints process is flawed, as the only people members can complain to are also those heavily involved in the dispute.

What is wrong with these idiots

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRr8TaoU/

Misinformation usually comes from ignorance but instead of learning and admitting they didn’t know they repeat it

Reform want to basically do away with the NHS as we have come to know it. But it'll be fine, because what they propose works in Europe. And they *love* Europe. Someone commented today on their experience with the French Healthcare system. What they described is completely normal for a Bismarck-style healthcare system. It is excellent care, often faster, often very humane, but it is not free at the point of use in the way people in the UK instinctively understand that phrase. It is paid for through a mix of compulsory social contributions and what is, in practice, near-mandatory top-up insurance. If you don’t pay into both layers, you are exposed. End of story.
The killer detail here isn’t “France is better than the NHS” (often true), it’s the personal price tag. Nearly €900 a month in health-related costs, on a decent pension. And this is not some exotic edge case.. it’s the structural reality. Crucially, the private “mutuelle” isn’t optional in any meaningful sense. It exists precisely because the state system deliberately doesn’t cover everything. That’s the design.
This is where Reform UK Ltd's assurances to their voters becomes dishonest.
A lot of people hear “French system” and imagine NHS care plus nicer waiting rooms and better cheese. What they don’t imagine is writing a four-figure cheque every month in retirement, regardless of how often they get sick, just to stand still. They especially don’t imagine that cost being flat-rated for insurance, not income-linked, so it hits ordinary retirees far harder than the wealthy.
And that’s before you even touch dentistry, optics, excess specialist fees, or the postcode lottery for GPs that somehow never gets mentioned in the Reform manifesto.
Sure, you absolutely can have a system like France. It delivers many things the NHS currently struggles to. But it requires a population that accepts higher, visible, personal healthcare costs as normal. Britain has never consented to that.. quite the opposite. The NHS was built precisely to remove that anxiety.
Which is why people like Nigel Farage leaning on “they do it in Europe” is so slippery. He gets to imply continental outcomes without ever admitting continental contributions. The bill is always left offstage, like a magician palming the coin.
So yes, my contributer's account is eye-opening, and frankly invaluable. Not because it says “France bad” or “NHS good”, but because it punctures the fantasy that you can quietly slide into a mixed insurance model without the public noticing the cost. People would notice. Very quickly. And many, especially Reform voters I suspect, would not be able to afford it.
Also, and importantly, The National Health Service consistently runs with freakishly low administrative costs of roughly 1.5–2 percent of total health spending. That figure includes commissioning, billing, management, HR, procurement, the lot. It’s low because the NHS is a single-payer, tax-funded system. No billing departments arguing with insurers, no parallel claims bureaucracy, no marketing and no profit extraction. One big pipe, money in, care out.
Depending on how narrowly you count it, France’s pure public insurance admin sits around 5-7 percent. But that’s only half the picture because when you include the mandatory private complementary insurers, claims processing, billing overhead in clinics, and the bureaucracy required to make all those moving parts talk to each other, most serious health-economics analyses put total administrative overhead in the 8–12 percent range. (Many put it higher.)
That still makes France more efficient than the US, which is a bureaucratic bonfire north of 25 percent. But it is nowhere near NHS efficiency.
The UK made the opposite historical trade-off. The NHS squeezes admin to the bone so money goes to care, not paperwork. That’s why it delivers universal coverage at lower per-capita cost than almost any comparable country. It’s also why it collapses so dramatically when underfunded.. there’s no slack. No insurance buffer, no spare bureaucracy to hide behind. And let's be clear, the reason the French Health service may be better in some areas that the UK, is that the NHS has been cronically underfunded for decades.
If we’re going to talk about reform (small R), it has to start with telling the truth about trade-offs, not selling imported dreams with the receipt hidden in the lining.
Reform UK manifestos shift tone and detail depending on audience and electoral pressure. The consistent pattern though is that explicit commitments get fuzzier the closer you look. That’s not an accident. It allows supporters to reassure themselves that “nothing radical is planned” while keeping the ideological door wide open. However, I have always been an advocate of "follow the money". Several prominent donors and backers associated with Reform have backgrounds in private healthcare, insurance or outsourcing. That does not require a conspiracy. It’s just incentives doing what incentives always do. People that bankroll movements tend to want something in return.
And Nigel Farage himself has been remarkably consistent over the years about this one thing, even when his party branding mutates like a fruit fly. He has repeatedly argued that the National Health Service model is “unsustainable” and that the UK should move toward an insurance-based or mixed funding system “like France” or “like Germany.” He often frames this as “free at the point of use,” but that phrase becomes extremely elastic once you introduce compulsory insurance, co-payments, and top-ups. Technically free, in the same way a car is free if you ignore the purchase price, fuel, insurance, MOT, and repairs.
But, let's be honest, even if Reform UK Ltd. ended up in government, the NHS would not vanish overnight. What would happen, based on Farage’s own long-standing comments and the “continental model” dog-whistle, is a gradual shift: more charging, more insurance, more “choice”, more things quietly pushed outside the core state offer. Think erosion, not explosion.
So I would advise anyone planning to vote Reform to also start planning to put an increasingly sizeable chunk of cash aside each month to cover their health costs.
I would advise everyone else to fight for what we have with every breath in your body to keep Farage away from our National Health Service. Vote for whoever is most likely to keep a Reform UK Ltd. candidate from getting a seat. Once the NHS is gone, it is NEVER coming back.

Nigel Farage, Reform 2025 LTD, the Conservative Party, that seems to be defecting to Reform 2025 LTD en masse, all want the UK to leave the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights).

Why?

They are trying to tell everyone it’s to help stop asylum seekers and refugees getting help from it and to stop it overriding UK courts.

Some facts none of them want you to know:

The ECHR was created in 1950 after the Second World War to protect fundamental rights and freedoms across Europe.

Since 1980 the ECHR has heard only 29 immigration deportation cases and of which the UK won 16 of them. In comparison in 2024 8,164 asylum seekers were deported after they lost their claims.

Leaving the ECHR would have no bearing on immigration, refugees or asylum seekers in the UK so why are these people so keen for the UK to leave?

Let’s look at what rights are covered under the ECHR:
The right to life. Freedom from torture, slavery, discrimination and the right to a fair trial. Along with freedoms such as expression, assembly, religion and respect for private and family life.

So why would they want us to leave?

Because leaving would put everyone’s rights at risk, the ECHR is there to hold the state to account when it has abused citizens rights

We have already seen many cases where the right to peaceful protest is being clamped down on.

More critically and probably the main reason they want us to leave the ECHR also helps protect workers rights, such as the right to join a union that is currently protected under the right to freedom of association and such things as the right to strike.

Considering Farage and all of Reforn 2025 LTD voted AGAINST new laws strengthening workers rights then it’s not surprising they also want to get rid of the ECHR!

They are on the side of corporations and are looking to open up ways that YOU can be exploited by those very corporations. They tell you it’s about immigrants when in all reality it’s about making billionaires richer.

Look at who’s paying the piper, 75% of Reform 2025 LTD donations have come from just 3 wealthy men! The Conservatives biggest donors are from unincorporated associations meaning none are transparent.

They are telling you what you want to hear while doing what they want for their paymasters.

Wake up!

Oh no not Farage as well

Yes named eighteen times
