Why I started the Milifandom campaign

Abby Tomlinson, who was behind the Milifandom movement during the election campaign, says she wanted to make it clear the then Labour leader was a "good man" with a sense of humour.

The teenager tells Andrew Neil she thinks Mr Miliband was "demonised" by the media and that #Milifandom was supposed to show that image was distorted.

She says she was heartbroken by the election result, but thinks the movement made a difference. It showed teenagers do actually care about politics,

The presenter also spoke to Richard Biggs who set up 'cooledmiliband'.
