There was an embarrassing moment for James Cleverly as he tried – and failed – to play a compilation of Kemi Badenoch’s best bits.
Cleverly was speaking at the Tories’ local election campaign launch when he was about to introduce party leader Badenoch.
But the plan was that before she came on stage to speak, a compilation video of her best bits as leader would be played to those in attendance.
However, technical issues meant the compilation couldn’t be played, causing an awkward moment for all involved.

After a couple of attempts at playing the video, Cleverly eventually gave up.
Of course, this set everyone up for the same joke – that Badenoch didn’t have any highlights.
On X, Labour MP Jonathan Brash quipped: “I think it worked fine.”
His Labour colleague Natalie Fleet said the technical fault “speaks for the nation.”
The Lib Dems got in on the act by sharing the clip with the caption: “Cleverly played all the Kemi highlights going.”
And plenty of others had the same reaction…
