An AI-generated image posted by Nigel Farage on X (formerly Twitter) sparked controversy amidst a political campaign. The image targeted Andy Burnham and his immigration policies.
What happened
The image depicted a group of migrants in a dinghy holding signs that read ‘Vote Andy For Us’ alongside a cartoon of the Greater Manchester mayor. Farage posted the image with the caption: ‘Andy Burnham is for them, not for you. Vote Reform in Makerfield.’ This post was an apparent dig at Burnham's immigration policy. Burnham responded with a tongue-in-cheek comment referencing a donation Farage received from a crypto billionaire.
