Cllr Stephen Mousdell is the new Reform UK councillor for Haydock Park in St Helens
A newly elected Merseyside Reform UK councillor has a separate life appearing in porn videos on websites and on social media.
Cllr Stephen Mousdell was elected to serve the Haydock ward on St Helens Council after Thursday’s local elections. He was part of a huge victory for Nigel Farage’s party that saw them storm to power in the Merseyside town, all but eliminating the previously ruling Labour group along the way.
But now it has emerged that along with his political career, Cllr Mousdell has a separate life involving performing in pornographic videos under the alias Lachlan Taylor UK. There is no suggestion that Cllr Mousdell has broken any laws and his party, Reform UK have supported him.
On his X social media account, Cllr Mousdell or Mr Taylor as he goes by, shares links to his OnlyFans account, while boasting about the size of his manhood, offering up invitations for ‘collaberations.’ (sic)
His X account is now locked, but was previously showing hardcore pornography videos, something that has been widely criticised online.

The Reform Party UK Exposed account shared screengrabs of these videos, adding: “We’re celebrating Reform UK’s first hardcore porn star councillor Stephen Mousdell being elected in Haydock, St Helens.
“He goes by the name @LachlanTaylorUK here, but has locked his account. Probably because he’s realised posting hardcore porn to a website… throughout the duration of your council election campaign is not a very good look.”
Elsewhere Lachlan Taylor can be found in a number of pornography videos posted to hardcore sites like Pornhub and ManSurfer.
There are also a number of posts on Instagram featuring Cllr Mousdell and advertising for people to “come and film scenes” for OnlyFans and looking for “collaborations” for videos for the site.

Cllr Mousdell was elected to the Haydock Park ward last week, garnering 1331 votes as part of a widespread Reform victory. Nigel Farage’s party now has a commanding majority on St Helens Council with 34 seats.
A number of ECHO readers have contacted us to raise concerns about this online activity from someone who is now an elected politician.
But Reform UK has pushed back and insisted that Cllr Mousdell has not broken the law and is able to do as he pleased with consenting adults in his private life.
A party spokesman said: “While Cllr 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.
“The electorate were fully aware of Cllr Mousdell’s lifestyle choices weeks before the election and still decided to elect Stephen as their councillor.
“Cllr Mousdell is an asset to his local community, even receiving the St Helens Mayor’s Good Citizen Award for his services to the borough.”
