In a surprising twist, photos of a Welsh councillor, Sarah Lang, have allegedly found their way onto adult websites. Representing Treveithin in Pontypool, Torfaen, Cllr Lang was elected in July under the Reform UK banner. These images, showcasing her under the pseudonym ‘Princess Spyderlily’, have sparked quite the conversation online. Critics and supporters alike have taken to social media to express their opinions, especially after Cllr Lang appeared at a community event in a low-cut top with her bra visible.
Zara Hussain questioned the outfit saying, “Is this Reform’s new strategy?” Yet, others have rallied to support her, arguing she should be able to dress as she pleases. The fracas highlights the ongoing debate over how women in politics are scrutinised for their appearance.
Apart from her political endeavours, Cllr Lang, who once graced the stage with the Welsh band 7th Circle and bagged £1m on TV’s Poker Face in 2006, maintains a presence on various platforms, including YouTube.
The councillor emphasises the importance of engaging with communities and plans to foster local pride. Despite the buzz, Cllr Lang remains silent on the issue while Reform UK also chose not to comment. The incident continues to draw attention, with the Reform councillor at the centre of a heated public discourse—or should we say, a storm in a teacup?
