00:03has been massive. They've been coming in at 500 a minute wanting to support and

00:09join the new party and we're open with suggestions for names so if you've got a

00:12good suggestion, bring it on. I want it to be something that's inclusive, effective

00:19to mobilise people and bring people in. It's not messy at all, it's a totally

00:22coherent approach. It's democratic, it's grassroots and it's open.

00:27You say Zahra Soltana will co-lead it with you but so far it's been your name

00:36What's her role in all this?

00:37We're working absolutely together on this. She happens to be, as far as I know, at this

00:42moment in Coventry. I was in touch with her just a few moments ago so it's all
