Summary
Suffolk County councillor Christopher Hudson was removed from his cabinet role after he shared a sexualised AI-created image of fellow cabinet member June Mummery. The manipulated image exaggerated Mummery’s physical features; it was quickly deleted but continued to circulate online.
Opposition councillors called the sharing a “severe violation of digital safety” and said it brought the authority into disrepute. Suffolk County Council did not confirm in its statement the reason for Hudson’s removal; the council leader said Hudson had been relieved of his duties and Patti Mulcahy was appointed to the cabinet role. Hudson remains a member of the Reform UK group.
