‘You’ve got to be where the electorate are,’ says Luke Evans, the sixth-most followed UK politician on the platform

Politicians are at risk of ignoring a large chunk of the electorate because of their reluctance to communicate on TikTok, according to a Tory MP who has one of the biggest followings of any UK politician on the social media platform.

Luke Evans, who is the sixth-most followed UK politician on TikTok, said his colleagues were missing out on engaging particularly with young voters because of security concerns and a lack of knowledge about the platform.
