The U.K. Labour government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer has confirmed it will continue the controversial full review of British pornography laws ordered by former Tory Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in July 2023.
A senior Labour MP on Tuesday launched an attack against adult websites, saying they are “characterized by lawlessness,” and called for further criminalization of all sex work.
As the U.K.’s Online Safety Bill navigates the committee stage in the House of Commons, the Labour MP who chairs the Home Affairs Committee is actively lobbying to make the government proactively police “whether adult entertainers have properly consented to appear in pornographic films” even if there are no reports suggesting they have not.
