I don't think this is actually about being distracted by minutiae tbh. The laughter over that video isn't just about laughing about the idiot, it's coming from genuine concern over the incompetence of the cabinet. An expression of awkward laughter because it's better than being furious.
Paliamentary standards is probably in the top three of our problems as a nation right now. Imo they aren't laughing at her so much as nervously laughing at the whole shitshow.
Things that do well on social media are just that. Social media is not real life. But sure, it's easy to dismiss it as people just laughing at the least bad problem. I don't see it like that.
