A series of apparently unconnected videos on YouTube and TikTok have featured clips of well-known British celebrities apparently disparaging Sir Keir Starmer on what is claimed to be live television. The videos have included comments from comedians Ricky Gervais and Rowan Atkinson, as well as actor Danny Dyer and chef Jamie Oliver, mixed with heavily opinionated commentary from an anonymous narrator.

Publisher’s rating: Although the videos are often given titles that imply recent developments such as “5 minutes ago”, the footage in all cases is archive material that predates Sir Keir’s election as Prime Minister. Some of the celebrities’ criticisms have been taken out of context and were actually aimed at previous governments and, in one case, a law from 1986. Most of the footage is also not taken from live television broadcasts, despite claims in the title.

This video shows Congress candidate Sajid Khan Mastan Khan’s rally in Akola, Maharashtra, with flags of Palestine, Iran, Iraq, ISIS, and Hezbollah, but no Indian flag.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review identifies the video as footage of a Milad-un-Nabi bike rally in Latur, not Sajid Khan Mastan Khan’s election rally in Akola. It reports that Indian flags are visible, but says it could not independently verify whether the other flags represent Palestine, Iran, Iraq, ISIS, or Hezbollah.
