We underestimated the SNP: Douglas Alexander LIVE in Edinburgh

Douglas Alexander has been around for ages and he still looks fresh-faced. In this frank and entertaining hour the Secretary of State for Scotland reveals why Labour failed so badly at this year's Holyrood elections. He also takes us behind-the-scenes of the first weeks of the Burnham government as well as the fall of Keir Starmer. PLUS stories from the good old Blair/Brown days and more importantly: what's his ideal Greggs order?
