In a twist that sounds straight out of a modern-day political drama, Stephen Mousdell has captured the spotlight for more than just his recent electoral victory. Elected to the St Helens Council in Merseyside during Thursday's local elections, Mousdell not only represents the Reform UK party but also moonlights as a porn star under the alias Lachlan Taylor UK. This revelation adds a unique flavor to his political persona, as he balances civic responsibilities with a provocative online presence.
Nigel Farage's party celebrated a sweeping victory, ousting the Labour group and seizing control of the council. Yet, it's Mousdell's extracurricular activities that have caught the public's eye. His X social media account, now locked, previously showcased links to his OnlyFans page and explicit content, where he unabashedly flaunted his assets and extended invitations for collaborations. Critics have been vocal online, questioning the appropriateness of such content during an election campaign.
“While Coun Mousdell's lifestyle choices may not be to everyone's taste, he has not broken the law. What consenting adults do in their private lives is their own business,” remarked a Reform UK spokesperson.
Despite the controversy, Reform UK stands by Mousdell, emphasizing that he hasn't violated any laws. The electorate, well-informed of his dual career paths, elected him with a convincing 1,331 votes, granting the Reform party a dominant 34-seat majority on the council. Mousdell's contributions to the community have not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by his receipt of the St Helens Mayor's Good Citizen Award for his services to the borough.
His alter ego, Lachlan Taylor, is no stranger to the adult entertainment industry, featuring in videos on platforms like Pornhub and ManSurfer. Instagram posts further document his invitations for collaborative content creation. As the Reform Party UK's first councillor with such a distinctive side hustle, Mousdell continues to intrigue and polarize, blending the worlds of politics and adult entertainment with unapologetic transparency.
