The night of the long sgian dubhs (79 comments) by Charles Kennedy

It was emotional enough reading this at the time, but even more so now that we know it was the last article he was to write for us.

The Lib Dem Voice election night live blog (291 comments) by the Lib Dem Voice team.

Not going to lie, this is a tough one to read. It’s the first time I’ve actually gone through it since the horror of that night and my stomach is churning.

My thoughts fairly on into the night as we realised that the Tories were heading for victory:

I’ve said all along that there was a risk of a Tory majoirity. Blukip could be a reality on these results. This really feels like 1992 all over again – although the Tory right wingers then were cuddly teddy bears compared to the worst of them now.

And so it transpired that they were.
