Rory Stewart's stare at Ailbhe Rea during Newsnight AI debate goes viral

Former Conservative MP Rory Stewart swivelled and stared directly at Ailbhe Rea during BBC Newsnight on 18 September after Matt Chorley asked her about Westminster and AI development. The clip went viral, which Rea joked about on X. The panel, also including Neil Kinnock, discussed the US-China AI race. I see it as a reminder that demeanour can eclipse substance online.
