WATCH: Labour’s 10 most successful campaign videos

During the 2019 general election Labour ran the most successful social media campaign the country has ever seen, according to the party.

In an effort to bypass the largely Conservative-supporting mainstream media, Labour developed a digital strategy focussed on creating and sharing persuasive content – particularly videos.

On Facebook, Labour and Jeremy Corbyn achieved over 86 million views on campaign videos. Boris Johnson and the Conservatives reached only around 25 million views.

According to Labour, Jeremy Corbyn has been retweeted 2.4 million times in the 42 days up to December 9th, compared to 1.4 million in the 52 days of the 2017 general election.
