Why you can trust Sky News

The Labour Party has deleted an artificial intelligence (AI) generated TikTok
featuring a Portuguese-language song with lyrics about having sex with a
"naughty young girl".

The 34-second clip, titled "Labour's plan to change Britain as animals", showed
AI animals representing key workers while the song Montagem Coral by Brazilian
artist DJ Holanda played in the background.

It didn't take long for viewers to find English translations of the Portuguese
lyrics, which reference smoking marijuana, sexual acts and sexist slurs.

The video, which featured a bulldog in a police uniform, a hare as a nurse and a
bull in a hi-vis jacket and builder's helmet, was swiftly removed by Labour when
users drew attention to the song's lyrics in the comments.





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 video featured text over each AI-generated animal, detailing the supposed
pros of Labour's policies in each of the sectors being depicted, such as
policing, healthcare, energy and housing.



TikTok has increasingly become the platform used by organisations trying to
reach younger audiences.

Alicia Kearns, the Conservative MP for Rutland and Stamford, offered a scathing
assessment of the TikTok video on X, singling out the home secretary.

She wrote: "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? So much for
telling us we'll feel safer with you in charge."
