Deepfake videos of Sir Keir Starmer have been posted on the first day of the Labour Party conference in a move that underlines the threat posed by deepfake technology and AI in UK politics.

The fake video of the Labour leader emerged on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday morning as senior figures and party activists gathered in Liverpool.

The first fake audio, posted by an account with less than 3,000 followers, purports to capture the Labour leader abusing party staffers - but the audio is not real and the incident did not happen.
