"I have apologised. I did not sign off the video. It was about a vote in parliament where Labour are putting in legislation that is hounding the very elderly veterans for things that happened decades ago, often under the instruction of political leaders who are no longer around."
"The video was done by very young people who did not recognise the footage as being from Bloody Sunday. So I apologise as well that that video went out in error."
Kemi Badenoch faced backlash after a video featuring footage from Bloody Sunday was used in social media posts against Labour's bill on legacy issues. She clarified that she did not approve the video, which was created by young staffers unaware of its historical significance. The video claimed Labour's changes would negatively impact British veterans. Bloody Sunday, a pivotal event in the Troubles, involved British soldiers killing unarmed demonstrators. Badenoch expressed regret for the error and stated the video was removed promptly after the party recognized the issue.
