Jeremy Clarkson responds to AI video of him attacking Keir Starmer

The video, which is rumoured to have originated on Facebook, found its way on to X, formerly known as Twitter, after being posted by the fan account ClarksonsFarm1.

This account has nothing to do with Jeremy Clarkson or the Amazon Prime series; it has, in fact, blocked the former, according to Clarkson himself.

The AI-generated video shows Clarkson throwing the Prime Minister out of his pub, before proceeding to ‘beat him up’, as many on X are calling it.

It was widely criticised.

Political commentator Don McGowan added: “Am I the only one that finds this disgusting?

“It’s not funny and glorifies violence.

“In a time where our country is seeing violence when MPs speak (see Hannah Spencer last weekend), this pretend fight with the prime minister should be removed immediately.”

TalkTV host Mark Dolan added: “This is appalling and deeply wrong – whatever you think of the prime minister.”

Yesterday, Labour MP Chris Bryant led fresh calls for the video to be taken down.

He said: “Come on @ClarksonsFarm1 take it down. I’m all for freedom of speech but not inciting or glorifying violence. And two of my colleagues have been murdered in my time as an MP.”

Clarkson then responded.

He posted: “That site is a menace. And they’ve blocked me.”

ClarksonsFarm1 has not responded to any requests to remove it.

One user couldn’t quite believe the irony, saying: “A fan account blocked the person it’s a fan of.”

Another said: “Sue them. They’re making money out of ruining your reputation and brand.”

Someone else commented: “Make an account about a guy. Then block the guy you made an account about….makes sense”.
