Labour confirms Ed Miliband visited Russell Brand’s house for interview
ByPress Association
Ed Miliband and Russell Brand met late last night for a TV interview, Labour has confirmed.
A picture emerged on Twitter appearing to show the Labour leader leaving Brand’s house at around 10pm.
A party spokesman said: “Ed was doing a media interview like he often does. We look forward to it being broadcast.”
Brand has made a series of high-profile interventions in recent months, including telling audiences not to vote and writing a book calling for political revolution.
He has released a documentary film criticising growing inequality between the rich and the poor in Britain.
Following a screening last week, the comedian said the General Election was “irrelevant”, adding: “Because there’s an election it’s a good time to market a film about politics and people are more aware of politics.
“I think people want me to talk about the election but watching it again it just makes me think there’s no justice, it’s dead.”
In January, Brand was dismissed as a “pound-shop Ben Elton” by Labour’s Ed Balls.
The shadow chancellor issued the withering put-down after the self-styled revolutionary called him a “clicky-wristed snidey c***” during a television quiz show.
