Met Police investigating more 'potential criminal allegations' about Brand

In September 2023, after the Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatches allegations were made against Brand, Culture, Media and Sport (CMS) Committee chair Dame Caroline wrote to social media companies Rumble, X, TikTok and Meta.

She asked if they would follow YouTube in cutting off Brand's income on their platforms. Rumble publicly refused, and X said it does not take action against accounts that have not broken its rules or the law. TikTok said he had never been monetised there.

"We know that he had used his following [online] to try and cow people into silence," added Dame Caroline.

"And the fact that they [the women] were able to come forward and tell their story and tell their truth and secure this conviction because of it is unbelievably impressive."
