MPs shout “SHAME” at Kemi Badenoch after Russell Brand quip

A criticism about Rosebank becomes a remark about Russell Brand, and the Commons benches erupt. PoliticsJOE's clip captures Kemi Badenoch making the switch, then responding to MPs shouting "Shame!"

"He called Rosebank climate vandalism," Badenoch says, referring to the oil and gas field west of Shetland. She follows it with: "But then he also thought cosying up to Russell Brand would make him Prime Minister." She presents the association as a reason not to trust her opponent's judgement.

The camera cuts to the packed benches as MPs jeer. Badenoch then resumes, saying that the foreign secretary should be ashamed, redirecting the accusation rather than retreating from her remark. The excerpt does not include a response from the politician she is criticising.

The Short reached roughly 39,000 views in fifteen hours, already well beyond PoliticsJOE's usual full first-day audience for that format. Its comment section was also several times busier than a typical first day.

The exchange wasn't the channel's only parliamentary upload drawing an unusually large audience: its longer PMQs highlights featuring Andy Burnham and Badenoch also made a much faster start than its regular videos usually do.
