0:00.0 | This is obviously a very disappointing night for the Labour Party. |
0:05.0 | I want to also make it clear that I will not lead the party in any future general election campaign. |
0:12.0 | I will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward. |
0:27.6 | It's not Corbinism. There is no such thing as Corbynism. |
0:32.5 | Hello and welcome to Corbinism, the post-mortem, a new limited podcast series investigating Corbinism |
0:38.1 | and the impact Jeremy Corbyn's tenure as Labour leader had on British politics. I'm your host, |
