"The letter, seen by the Guardian, demanded Kimberley stop publishing or sharing videos, posts or commentary about the Reform leader and the wider Reform party. It also claimed Kimberley's videos contained content that misrepresents Monk and contributed to her harassment by members of the public. Kimberley denied the claims and told the Guardian there was no legal basis for the demands, adding the letter was written as if someone fed into ChatGPT write me an angry legal letter'."
"It is very clearly a politically motivated accusation, it is meant to silence the opposition, he said. There's a big difference between criticising the opposition, calling out problems versus actually harassing people. This is a party that is auditioning for government they have already resorted to Stalinist tactics this early into a local administration. I mean, good golly, what happens if they get into power?"
Jo Monk, leader of Worcestershire county council, sent a cease-and-desist letter to Worcester city councillor Ed Kimberley demanding he stop publishing or sharing videos, posts or commentary about her and the Reform party. The letter alleged Kimberley's videos misrepresented Monk and contributed to her harassment. Kimberley denied the allegations, said there was no legal basis for the demands, and described the letter as resembling a ChatGPT-produced angry legal note. The letter sought removal of three videos, including one accusing Reform of being "the new nasty party" and alleging hateful comments about disabled people. Kimberley refused to remove content and said he would continue holding local politicians accountable.
