Welcome to the second episode of this old newscast where we are discussing how Jeremy Corbyn won the 2015 Labour leadership election.
A few weeks ago we recorded these episodes with two journalists who followed the Labour leadership election of 2015 incredibly closely,
Jane Merrick and Nick Watt.
We started episode one on the morning after the 2015 general election,
when a defeated But maybe also slightly relieved,
Ed Miliband stood down as Labour leader,
triggering an absolutely fascinating competition to replace him.
If you've not listened to the first episode yet,
go back and listen to that before coming back and listening to this one.
We will pick up where we left off.
The very left-wing candidate Jeremy Corbyn has got the necessary 35 nominations from Labour MPs just in the nick of time and is officially now a candidate for Labour leader.
So,
let's return to the summer of 2015 and join Jeremy Corbyn on the campaign trail in this episode of Old Newscast.
Those colleagues who nominated me MPs who nominated me may not necessarily agree with me.
This is the I think I'm right in saying 83rd event we've done.
Jeremy Corbyn elected as leader of the Labour Party.
OK, and with us is Jane Merrick, who's policy editor of the iPaper.
But Jane, at the time, you were political editor of The Independent on Sunday.
That's right.
Hello.
