The video, posted on the government’s official TikTok account, was titled ‘Labour’s plan to change Britain as animals’. The Labour Party has apologised after posting an AI-generated video on social media which contained explicit lyrics encouraging men to give drugs to “naughty” girls.

The video, posted on the government’s official TikTok account on Sunday, was titled “Labour’s plan to change Britain as animals”. The video displayed artificial intelligence-generated animals promoting its NHS and police reforms overlayed with a Portuguese song.
The song choice, titled “Montagem Coral: by DJ Holanda, MC TH and MC GW, consists of lyrics that, when translated to English, discuss giving young women drugs before sleeping with them. “It’s all about the weed, go on, naughty girl, relaunching / Go for the d***” the song says.
The song 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****”. Labour has since deleted the video and apologised.
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.”.
The social media post has attracted a wave of criticism. Alicia Kearns, Conservative MP for Rutland and Stamford, said on X (formally Twitter): “Do you think it’s acceptable Yvette Cooper for your party to put out videos with lyrics encouraging men to get young girls on drugs so they can have sex with them, and celebrating punching girls in their vaginas?.
