X Ban: Patrick Christys Calls Starmer a Dictator

On 9 January 2026 GB News presenter Patrick Christys published an opinion column warning that banning X would make Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer a dictator. Christys said Starmer has “all options on the table,” citing the rise of AI‑generated images of women in bikinis as a reason for possible censorship. He praised X as a free‑speech platform but warned a ban would set a dangerous precedent. Christys highlighted that UK X users grew 30% last year, with millions of daily interactions, and noted the upcoming EU Digital Services Act could force stricter content rules. The column urges viewers to oppose government overreach and contact MPs to protect free speech.
