The Labour Party has been forced to apologise after creating an AI-generated video on TikTok with explicit lyrics about drug use.
A short clip titled “Labour’s plan to change Britain as animals” was shared on the party’s TikTok account on Sunday, and featured AI-generated animals such as a muscular bulldog dressed as a police officer and a hare wearing a nurse’s outfit.
Alongside the animals, the video promoted Labour’s policies such as shorter NHS wait times and putting more police officers on Britain’s streets.

However, the political party has come under fire for the video as it featured an explicit Portuguese song, which includes graphic lyrics that, when translated to English, are shown to discuss giving young women drugs before sleeping with them.
The Telegraph translated some of the lyrics to the track, which include: “It’s all about the weed, go on, naughty girl, relaunching / Go for the d---.”
It continues: “You said I’m forbidden because I get addicted fast / Perfect combination is sex, beer and weed / The young girl got addicted, she’s enjoying the breeze / I’m putting my p---- in a young girl’s p----.”
The video has led to questions about why the Labour Party decided to use the track.
Alicia Kearns, the Conservative MP for Rutland and Stamford, told the Telegraph: “There are consequences for desperately trying to look cool on an app weaponised against our own people.
“It is right they apologise for this gross and vulgar politics, which resulted in the promotion of a song about plying girls with drugs to sleep with and abuse them.”
Labour has since apologised for using the song and has deleted the video from its TikTok.
A Labour spokesperson said: “The post is an adaptation of a viral social media trend and contains a mix of two music tracks.
“We acknowledge the translation of the lyrics are completely inappropriate. We apologise and the video has now been deleted.”
