<p>The shadow business secretary said the move was to “deal with these strange times” following lockdown measures in the UK during the Covid-19 outbreak.</p>
<p>Ms Long-Bailey, Lisa Nandy and Sir Keir Starmer are the three remaining candidates, with the successor to Jeremy Corbyn due to be announced on April 4.</p>

<p>She told Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday: <em>“I think it’s trying to deal with these strange times and have an announcement on the leadership contest that our members and the public can view from their homes really.</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s logistically quite challenging and I think we’ve all been asked to do this victory speech so that it can be send out over the airwaves as quickly as possible after we win.</em></p>
<p><em>“I haven’t done mine yet, by the way.”</em></p>
<p>Asked if she would feel awkward recording the video ahead of the result, Ms Long-Bailey said: <em>“It’s going to be a bit bizarre.”</em></p>
