Reform UK deputy leader's AI-edited photo sparks authenticity row

Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice posted a photo of campaigners in Birmingham's Erdington suburb that analysts say shows clear signs of AI manipulation. The party acknowledged the image was 'slightly edited using AI' to increase brightness, but digital forensics firm Peryton Intelligence found evidence of distorted faces, extra fingers, and pixel-perfect patterns typical of AI generation. The incident adds to controversy surrounding Reform politicians' use of AI, following earlier issues with candidate Matt Goodwin.
