MP Challenges Russell Brand to Debate

An MP has challenged comedian and activist Russell Brand to a debate about Britain’s nuclear submarines. The challenge came after Brand posted a video entitled Should NHS Nurses Suffer For Politicians’ Blood Money? on January 19. Brand said money due to be invested in a new fleet of nuclear submarines should instead be used to improve the country’s health service.

In the video, Brand mentions BAE Systems, a British defense and aerospace company. John Woodcock, the Labour and Co-operative MP for Barrow, where BAE Systems’ submarine plant is located, challenged Brand to visit the constituency and debate the matter. Credit: YouTube/John Woodcock
