Incident 12331 Report
Purported Deepfake Video Allegedly Shows Conservative MP George Freeman Leaving Party for Reform UK

2025-10-18

A purported AI-generated deepfake video circulated online falsely depicting UK Conservative MP George Freeman announcing his defection to the Reform UK party. The fabricated clip, which mimicked Freeman’s likeness and voice without his knowledge or consent, included statements critical of the Conservatives and was widely shared on social media. Freeman denounced the video as disinformation, reported it to police, and warned that such synthetic media pose serious risks to democratic processes.
