With weeks still to go in the Labour leadership contest, some had suggested that the Corbyn campaign was destined to crash.
The once left-wing outsider, who barely scraped his way onto the ballot paper, is looking increasingly likely to trail blaze his was to victory, with opinion polls, constituency nominations and even the bookies putting him top of the list.
As is becoming normal with the 66-year-old MP's campaign, the internet has burst into an impromptu fit of Corbynmania, with #IfJeremyCorbynWins subsuming our feeds.
