Labour Apologizes for Controversial TikTok Video

The Labour Party has issued an apology after posting a TikTok video that featured AI-generated animals promoting party policies, backed by a Brazilian song with explicit lyrics about drugging young girls. The song, 'Montagem Coral' by DJ Holanda, contains graphic translations that discuss encouraging substance abuse among young women. Following backlash from critics, including Tory MP Alicia Kearns, Labour admitted the lyrics were 'completely inappropriate' and quickly deleted the video. The incident has raised concerns given the context of ongoing discussions around child sexual exploitation in the UK. A Labour spokesperson stated the video was an adaptation of a social media trend, but acknowledged the error in song choice. This blunder adds to the party's troubles amid poor poll ratings and scrutiny from various quarters.
