Russell-Moyle was involved in a physical altercation on 21 March 2019 whilst out showing support for demonstrators leafleting for 'The People's March', a demonstration in support of the People's Vote campaign.[25][26][27] Russell-Moyle described how an individual first began arguing with an ITV News crew suggesting that they were part of a "mainstream media conspiracy to stop Brexit".[27] Russell-Moyle then approached the scene and said that he was an MP and that "the majority of [his] constituents had voted Remain". He said that this information exacerbated the situation further with the individual describing MPs as "traitors" and lunging at him.[26][27] The incident took place less than 24 hours after Prime Minister Theresa May gave a speech on Brexit in which she blamed MPs for deliberately delaying her attempt to ensure the UK left the EU by 29 March.[28]
In June 2019, Russell-Moyle was criticised by the
2019 parliament
At the 2019 general election, Russell-Moyle was re-elected as MP for Brighton Kemptown with a decreased vote share of 51.6% and a decreased majority of 8,061.[33] His speech on the night, which included an undertaking to "fight [the Tories] in ...the Parliament...the courts...the workplaces...the streets", aroused comment in the press and on social media. In December 2019, Russell-Moyle sparked controversy when he said he was not a "cunt" in refusing to call for Jeremy Corbyn to resign, during an exchange on instant messenger with a former party member, which was leaked to The Sun.[34][35][36][37]
Russell-Moyle was appointed Shadow Foreign Minister in January 2020, holding the brief for the Americas and Caribbean, East Asia and the Pacific and the Overseas Territories.[38] Upon the election of Keir Starmer as party leader, he was appointed as Shadow Minister for Natural Environment and Air Quality.[39]
In April 2020, Russell-Moyle was reported to have shared a link to an unredacted version of a
In June 2020, he issued an apology
On 16 July 2020, Russell-Moyle resigned from his frontbench role, citing a "campaign by the right-wing media" which he believes led to him and his staff receiving targeted abuse.[45]
In January 2023, Russell-Moyle reacted angrily to a speech by Miriam Cates in a debate on the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill.,[46] branding her as 'transphobic' and saying she 'should be ashamed'. He later apologised to Dame Rosie Winterton and to Cates for the tone of his response. Rosie Duffield accused Russell-Moyle of crossing the floor to sit next to Cates in order to intimidate her, after having heckled several speakers.[46] Conservative MP Paul Bristow confirmed the report and said he moved closer to Cates in response to Russell-Moyle's behaviour.[47]
