I recall that night well. I was prospective Conservative parliamentary candidate for Hackney Central and arrived back at my house in Gillingham to hear the vote. The next day between customers at a school parents evening (I was a teacher) I drafted my election address.

Foot’s oration and intellect, whether one shares his politics or not, sparkles and totally outshines the politicians we have today

Subsequent events notwithstanding, Callaghan’s speech was surprising droll and assured.

I appreciate this channel so much! While I do enjoy documentaries about politics and history, actually being able to hear/see these events as they happened makes learning about these things so much more fun. Thank you for your uploads, I wish you the best!

I remember Lord Donoughue complaining that Thatcher's speech was rambling and ineffectual but I think she gave one of the best interventions in this debate. Her words alone were enough to make clear that Labour was finished.
