- During the election campaign the character of the only two realistic candidates for Prime Minister was explored in detail by Newsnight. Here's another opportunity to see our in-depth film about Labour's former leader, Ed Miliband by veteran observer of the political scene, Michael Cockerell. ** Warning - there is some bad language in the film. THIS AIRED ON NEWSNIGHT ON 6 MAY 2015.
He just seems like a nice guy to be honest
Much nicer than what we have currently got.
That's not enough to win elections.
This video really aged well! Hha, vote for Ed is a vote for chaos, is it?
"emissary from planet fuck" caught me so off guard. the magnificently deadpan delivery, i'm crying
9:59 Ed might've lost the election but at least he's got hot blondes running after him
I think Ed will make a comeback somewhere in the future. Maybe late 2020s or 30s.
Should Labour win the next election (highly likely) I see him holding quite a senior position in the cabinet.
@@waylander1978 I agree. He might even end up as Chancellor of the Exchequer and ultimately end up running for labour leadership when the sitting labour Prime Minister resigns
@@bills2843 Don't posit such nightmares.
I am not a labor voter but I think Ed was totally the wrong choice. David Miliband came across as much more self-assured. In fact I remember he was the favorite at one time.
David won the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th rounds, but lost the 5th round 50.5%/49.5%. This was also under different rules, where the 3 parts of the Labour Party (MPS, Members, Affiliates) all had 1/3rd of the power, so MPS (voted for Milliband) had a lot more power, ED also lost the members vote but won the trade union and affiliates vote by a landslide. Allowing on average him to scrape it. Ed then changed the rules to be 1 member 1 vote, with affiliates and people who pay £3 able to vote as well. With thier votes counting the same which enabled corbyn to take over.
@@FatguyInthedeli He didn’t bring in one member one vote. I’m a member of a trade union and no one has ever asked me who I want as leader and deputy of the party.
Idk man all I’m saying is that we’d probably be in a lot better of a position right now if Ed Miliband won in 2015
Same with Brown and Corbyn.
@@DanB-sh3wt what? ahaha, corbyn wouldve driven this country into bankruptcy, hes a total moron and snuggles up to Putin whenever he can
@@Boomy2710x As opposed to Boris Johnson, who's overseeing probably the worst UK gov't ever and one of the worst covid responses in the world.
Dan B 0809 I don’t support Boris but I think his response was great, unemployment has been kept relatively low during this crisis due to furlough scheme which is a hell of a lot better than Corbyns pandemic plan which essentially involves crashing our own economy, I don’t like Boris I feel like I should say that again but his response was good, better than most other countries
@@Boomy2710x I don't think it has been great at all. So many deaths, and still a very high unemployment rate. Compare that to, say, Germany, New Zealand or Canada.
Glad that Ed is back on the front bench
He knows his stuff and now has the freedom of a senior role without the pressures of being leader
I'm not a Labourite by any means (although certainly not a Tory either), but it seems very clear in hindsight that we'd have been a lot better of if Ed won in 2015.
In retrospect this comes across as a bit of a hit piece on behalf of the BBC who I thought were meant to be renowned for their impartiality. I think when reporting is so overtly cynical like this, not just for left wing candidate but for anyone, it’s no wonder why this cynicism rubs off on other people and overt & extreme distrust in the political system becomes normal. Certainly makes clear for me why politics has been so polarised for the last 5 years.
Nope.
You just can't help but feel the Conservative bias
And we thought we were in a mess then! How wrong we were!
MrDavey2010 you can say that again bro
@@LeoCalonder you can say that again bro
I always enjoy the oddly inevitable "...but people close to him say that behind his smile lies a ruthless streak" in bios of party leaders and PMs, as though anyone has ever gone into politics--much less climbed the ladder--just to show how amiable they were.
Yeah it's quite the cliché
What ever his flaws I am sure he would have been a better PM than Cameron, May or Johnson.
Cameron and May. I don’t mind Johnson, I think he is doing a decent job now
militantman 0911 what crack are you smoking!? It’s an absolute shit show right now and Boris Johnson is a man that sits comfortably on a majority government but looks he couldn’t give a fuck
@@militantman what?
Yeah that was exactly what we needed in 2015...old new labour 🤣
9:50 you would think with all that licence fee money, the bbc could hire someone who could remember to take the mouse off the screen...
Lol
I'd sacrifice a fucking limb to be in the timeline Ed won.
Same with Brown and Corbyn.
When the first time I knew ED, I thought he is from a cartoon.
Whatever you think of him, that bacon sandwich picture remains one of the greatest pictures of any British politician period.
If your brain is in the gutter with the tabloids yes.
Just proves how ridiculous and shallow the electorate are.
An Ed Miliband government , what a thought
Better than the brainfart the Johnson one is right now...
abcun17 bruh, CONSERVATIVE LANDSLIDE 2019....
@@militantman yes and look how shit it is
Were the videos detailing Cameron, Corbyn, and Hammond's backgrounds removed from the BBC Newsnight channel? I can't find them anywhere.
He might have been the "geek to be laughed at"...and the humiliation worked out great in portraying him as a hapless twit...but boy...sure as hell, right about now 10 Downing Street would look a helluva better with him in it!
@Gayle Elizabeth he seems honest. Much better than Cameron and May
OganessonOG better than Cameron I’ll say. May is obviously better the Milliband
@Gayle Elizabeth Well your comment aged well I see...
Liked Ed Miliband more than Blair or Slippery Starmer.
Same.
I think the doubt his family seemingly have in him could be used to his advantage. We love an underdog!
I want to be a cartoon maker, how do you go about that?
Imagine the BBC doing this about the Tories now in 2023 with cartoons and paranoid speculation. It just wouldnt be allowed. Terrifying times under nasty Tories
Wallace and gromitt are the embodiment of the entirely of the UK
Just watched the news night review on Amazon how come newsnight withdraw and do not allow comments when ppl are critical of them I’m glad I do not use the tv hence no tv licence I refuse to fund the bbc
"we sometimes go that way, sometimes go that way" sums up Labour in one statement... they may need a compass of some kind
Somes up most of politics.
Wallace 😂
He couldn't have been all bad if he didn't like David Cameron. I think his problem is he didn't connect with the people and that is why he didn't get in.
The best thing about Ed, was wen speaker would roar his name in the Commons
Ed miliband would never carry the people
Ed Milibaaaaaaand
Why was this video published today...horribly late!
Why?
This poor man was a joke. I don't see how anyone would want him as PM. He's like Milhouse from the Simpsons
I agree - definitely picked the wrong brother. No way Cameron would have won with David in charge.
@@joecurran2811 sad
Christ, a nice guy but kryptonite to women. And most men, why the hell did they pick him?
Why indeed
@Bessie Hillum Mmm David Owen. He was just poured into that suit🙃
10:05 this is political homicide 🤣🤣🤣 how the help could anybody recover from that hahaba
Miliband went to private prep-school though.
And? Who gives a shit? So have all the gits and wankers now in charge...
Ed does seem like a nice bloke, but I just think his ideas wouldn't have had the good outcomes he thought.
It’s not like his ideas were exactly revolutionary
John 3.16-21
Good to see Ed Milliband whre he belongs: In a marginalized Labour opposition. Who knows, mabe he'll make a comeback someday but I doubt it.
@Bessie Hillum :-) right
