"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."
"We support our veterans, but 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."
"The video was removed as soon as the party understood that that was what had been put out. We apologise for the inclusion of this material, which should not have been used and will not be used again."
Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, apologized for a video that included footage from Bloody Sunday, which was posted in error on her social media. The video opposed reforms to the Legacy Act concerning veterans. Badenoch stated that the video was created by young individuals who did not recognize the significance of the footage. Foyle MP Colum Eastwood criticized the use of the footage and called for a personal apology to the victims' families. The Conservative Party removed the video immediately upon realizing the error and issued an apology for its inclusion.
