Elixir Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Is there anywhere that has the full coverage of this available? YouTube has the BBC and ITV's UK-wide coverage, but that's it. Sky's, plus both STV and BBC Scotland's coverage is nowhere to be seen, however, which seems strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Labour and Lib Dem won't have taped it - too many bad memories. Nats would have been too pissed celebrating. In all seriousness probably because the election in Scotland was a foregone conclusion compared to what was perceived UK-wide (until the exit poll) as a finely balanced affair.

Mr Rational Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 YouTube. It's in two parts, you get quite a fair bit of Scottish coverage. If yer nightshift, it fits in with the entire show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Still on aye player in two parts. In a night of so many highlights the Labour Euro MP's 'analysis' is tough to top http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05tvgww/election-2015-scotland-election-2015-scotland I sat and watched the first one last night from the announcement of the first result to the end. I flew out on holiday on Election Day so missed it live and have never watched more than snippets before. The passing of time does not dull the enjoyment, it is political porn. The level of the victory and, in particular, the swing in previous Labour strongholds still seems incredible. It's funny how they gasped at a 25% swing early on just to accept it as standard (or worse) as the night progressed. Brown's former constituency and the West Coast one that swung by 39% was stuff of dreams. Kudos to Ad Lib for his facial expressions during Murphy's acceptance speech. I'd seen folk refer to it but had never witnessed it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Best bit of 2015 election was sitting on a train at 10am the next morning and John McTernan showing up. He was heading to Labour's HQ in Glasgow for Jim Murphy's resignation speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The first 5 minutes of the coverage with Ruth, Kezia and Willie giving the exit poll a 'health warning' is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 McTernan is still working for SLAB even after that disaster. Together with contributing regular anti-Corbyn columns to the Torygraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd seen folk refer to it but had never witnessed it myself. I don't think I'll ever experience anything like it again (Well only possibly the next referendum count). It is an oft used cliché but it was history happening before our eyes. It was the night that Scottish Labour as we know it was mortally wounded. I was at a count and only saw little bits of the broadcast in the telly room. When the first results started coming through jaws had to be picked up from the floor, whereas the Labour gadgies sank ever further into their seats. And the roar when Murphy's result was announced The reporters kept going on about miserable labour activists. They didn't tell half the story. They were broken, despondent people that night.

Mr Rational Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 They were very, very bitter at ours. I was very magnanimous. I only sang 'there's only one Jim Murphy' when I was at the declarations.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Didn't Murphy cling on for a few weeks like a lingering bit of faeces plastered just above the water line? Think the price of his resignation was a set of rule changes that made a Corbyn style swing to the left unlikely in a Scottish context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlion Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 As you know i was up in aberdeen doing a uni test but i would have loved to have been at the count in browns place I'm sure I read somewhere that Brown fucked off as soon as he realised what way the wind was blowing, leaving his would-have-been successor to face humiliation and defeat without him. This wouldn't surprise me if true; Brown seems utterly terrified of being associated with FAILURE, despite his long history of it. It's why he waddled into Better Together - he wanted keeping Scotland's sovereignty out of Scotland (and therefore "saving" the UK) to be his legacy, since apparently that's better than being known as one of the worst Prime Ministers in living memory.
