The disturbing truth behind viral AI video of Jeremy Clarkson ‘punching’ Keir Starmer

An AI video of Jeremy Clarkson physically assaulting Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has taken social media by storm.

However, it wasn’t even posted by the former Top Gear presenter.

The fake clip in question is only nine seconds long and shows the media personality (fired from the automotive show for attacking a producer) chucking Starmer out of his pub, The Farmer’s Dog, while shouting ‘No!’

It then cuts to another scene where the Labour leader attempts to right hook the TV host, who punches back, knocking him out with a vying crowd around them.

The utterly bizarre clip was posted by an X account called Clarkson’s Farm – which has over 311,000 followers and is verified on the social media platform – with the caption: ‘Ok. Maybe AI isn’t all bad.’

Although many have assumed it was Clarkson himself who uploaded the clip, which has already been seen 2.4 million times and accumulated 61,000 likes at the time of writing, this is not the case.

It is a fan account that is ‘not representative of Clarkson’s Farm’.

Despite being a fake video from a fan account depicting a violent altercation, it has been praised by many on social media as a funny clip that they wish was ‘real’.

Given how far the violent fake video has spread, many have called it out, including the Minister for Trade and Labour MP for Rhondda and Ogmore, Chris Bryant, who also referenced the murders of late Labour MP Jo Cox and Conservative MP Sir David Amess.

He posted: ‘Come on @ClarksonsFarm1 take it down. I’m all for freedom of speech but not inciting or glorifying violence. And two of my colleagues have been murdered in my time as an MP.’

MP Sorcha Eastwood echoed: ‘This really is disgusting. It is disturbing and it denigrates our public square. Sick and grotesque.’

Elsewhere, X user Don McGowan called it ‘not funny and glorifying violence’ and another, Rupert McGowan, said it was ‘disgusting and wrong’.

Some have even started calls for the real Clarkson to denounce the video.

‘Has Jeremy Clarkson called this out? Has he asked for it to be deleted? Silence is beginning to look like endorsement,’ TV personality Narinder Kaur wrote.

Although Clarkson has not yet criticised this specific post, he has called out this specific X account historically.

In a since-deleted post on the account in September 2025, Clarkson replied: ‘If you are going to post political opinions, be good enough to say that you have nothing to do with me, my farm or my TV show.’

And that is just one of multiple instances he has called out the account and clarified it is not representative of him or the Amazon Prime show it is named after.

It’s well known that the real Clarkson is not Starmer’s biggest fan and has joined protests against the government and even called him and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves out on his show.

In December, he told The Sun that he had ‘banned all Labour MPs from my pub’.

‘Our annual business rates have gone up astronomically from something like £28,000 to well over £50,000. It is a disgrace,’ he explained as to the reason why.

Then in January, in his column for The Times, he once more slammed Starmer and his frontbench, declaring: ‘It’s not that they don’t understand business, they actively hate it.’
