We’re using our own AI tools to identify how images with Google synth ID markers are being shared during this 2026 election campaign. A good example.
A real image posted by Reform UK MP @SarahForRuncorn on the campaign trail has been edited by social media users to change the supporters behind her.
The edited image has a SynthID watermark, indicating it was manipulated with Google AI tools.

2025 was the year AI turbocharged online misinformation, while Reform UK vs Labour is becoming a key battleground for political claims.

These misleading videos are becoming a veritable online epidemic and no doubt making a tidy profit for their duplicitous creators. We can continue to play whack-a-mole but ultimately more concerted action will be needed from online platforms and regulators.

.@TheBMA claims resident doctors’ pay is worth 21% less than in 2008/9.
But this is based on some questionable assumptions. Our independently verified analysis, using a different inflation measure backed by @RoyalStatSoc, suggests the fall’s more like 6-7%.
