Reform UK removes social media posts featuring artwork referencing Andy Burnham after receiving a legal threat alleging copyright infringement. According to multiple reports, lawyers acting for illustrator Stanley Chow write to the party accusing it of using material without permission. The legal correspondence says the posts were “edited without permission” and that the party’s actions amount to copyright infringement. The Mirror reports that the lawyers demand a public apology, while the Evening Standard says the party’s Burnham-related posts are removed following instructions from legal representatives. The dispute centres on whether Reform UK had the rights to publish and adapt the artwork in its online content. The reports indicate that the party deletes the posts after the legal communication, rather than issuing a substantive response in the coverage provided. No court outcome is reported, and it remains a legal dispute over alleged misuse of copyrighted material.
