| 0:00.0 | This is what a lot of us have been waiting for. |
| 0:02.0 | The former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the brilliant young former Labour MPs are Sultanah. |
| 0:06.8 | They've got together and they're launching this new political party. |
| 0:10.0 | What's the dedicated to? |
| 0:11.0 | Things like taxing the booming rich so we can invest in our collapsing services and infrastructure, |

| 1:20.6 | It doesn't have a name yet. |
| 1:21.5 | It's got your party as a holding title, which is what a lot of the media became predictably |
