Andrew Bailey, Governor of the Bank of England, called on the public to report the deepfake videos so they could be taken down, warning that fake adverts impersonating the Bank and other central banks are proliferating to exploit the vulnerable online. The clips, which appeared on X, depicted Farage holding a gun while grappling with Bailey on a Question Time set, with police intervening. Farage posted that he would never attack Bailey, and the Bank raised concerns with Reform UK and social media platforms. The Online Safety Act’s duties to tackle fraudulent advertising will not come into force until next year.
