Kemi Badenoch apologises after video opposing Legacy Act reforms features Bloody Sunday footage

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has apologised after a video posted to her social media account opposing reforms to the Northern Ireland Troubles Legacy Act featured footage of soldiers from Bloody Sunday. The video, shared on Tuesday, showed soldiers entering the Bogside area of Londonderry on 30 January 1972, when 13 civil rights demonstrators were shot dead. The Conservative Party removed the video and apologised, stating it was posted in error by young staff who did not recognise the footage. Foyle MP Colum Eastwood welcomed the apology but called for Badenoch to personally apologise to survivors and victims' families.
