“I remember when Ed Miliband was chasing Russell Brand all over the place”, Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch alleges when asked if Labour should apologise for its association with the convicted actor, adding that she finds it “cringe” and “embarrassing” when Labour politicians chase celebrities. Education Secretary Lucy Powell says a 2015 interview between Ed Miliband and Russell Brand "would never have taken place" if "we'd known then what we know today". Report by Gluszczykm.

00:00I'm sure if it was Ed Miliband sitting in this chair, he'd be very happy to attack us for guilt
00:05by association. But I don't know that they knew the extent of what he had done. Conservatives
00:11believe in the principle of you're innocent until you're proven guilty, and he has now been proven
00:17guilty. And, you know, it's a testament to all of those brave women who have been trying for a long
00:23time to expose this man, and including the journalists as well. There are a lot of journalists
00:28who have known about this, who have done a great job in bringing it to life. I remember when Ed
00:36Miliband
00:36was chasing Russell Brand all over the place, and Owen Jones saying that we were in trouble because
00:42Russell Brand had endorsed Labour. I personally find it quite cringe and embarrassing when you see
00:47Labour politicians chasing celebrities like this all the time. We're supposed to be the ones who are
00:53serious and grown up and not, you know, wanting to be on Gogglebox or whatever. That's what you will
00:58get from the Conservative Party. Let Labour chase the celebrity status and the TikToks. We're going
01:03to focus on getting Britain working again.
