Liberal Democrats urge Reform MPs to donate X payments

Liberal Democrats urge Reform MPs to donate X payments

The Liberal Democrats have called on Reform UK MPs who receive payments from X to donate the money to charities fighting sexual exploitation. This follows X's AI tool Grok being used to create illegal sexualised images of women and children. Liberal Democrat spokesperson Victoria Collins said Nigel Farage and other Reform MPs were receiving tainted money from the Elon Musk-owned platform. The party is also demanding the National Crime Agency investigate X for facilitating criminal activity through its platform.
