However, it's clear that with Lord Ali purchasing clothes for Starmer, Starmer undergoing HIV tests, and the noticeable absence of Keir Starmer and his wife, things aren't looking good. What are your thoughts on this matter? Could it be true or is it just false rumours?”.
Users were quick to respond that the video is “fake” and looks like AI. One user said: “It is completely fake The body shape is nothing like Starmer - just desperation of someone to try and project the fantasy further”.


Another said: “I am all for bringing down the PM, but if these two were outside Lord Alli's penthouse (does not look like that to me), why would they get intimate outside, and not wait until they got inside? Looks fake to me.”
Number 10 confirmed the prime minister received an invite and will attend the ceremony. Speaking on Tuesday, Sir Keir said the last 24 hours had seen "an outpouring of grief and love" for the Pope. It as not been confirmed if Victoria Starmer will join him but it seems unlikely.
