No, the no confidence vote in Labour to remove him from his leadership in 2016. In which Labour voted 172-40 in favour of no confidence. Granted, Labour's votes aren't binding as the ones in the Tory's no confidence votes are but that was pretty damning and then hypocritical of him to say May should resign after she won one within her party.
Corbyn won 4 more seats in 2017 than Brown did in 2010. Brown was completely unelectable and Corbyn was coming up against one of the worst election campaigns in history. It's hardly the great result some Labour supporter's would have you believe.

True, they'll have sole rights to any exploitative, zero hours, unskilled, slave labour job left in the UK after Boris has sold off what's left of the 'family silver' & his mates in USA corporations have creamed off the profits.
A fair, balanced analysis. The aim of the EEC/EU was always ever-closer union - it's in the text of the 1957 Treaty of Rome that founded the EEC (Thatcher missed that); big business & financial institutions benefiting isn't unique to the EEC; Our banks got far more bail-outs than Ireland's. The money we get back is for the poorest communities in our country - they're certainly not a priority for the Tories (unless bribing them for votes). 'Whether we can forge new deals remains to be seen' - key point; the only certainty is that any we do get will be scourged on the backs of the poor.
I’m a tradesman I work on building sites every day. A plaster boarder will earn £180 a day? A Romanian plaster boarder will work for £40-£60 pound a day. Im not anti EU because of some weird dislike for foreigners I’m a more anti Eu for reasons that Jeremy Corbyn is. Look at the way Greece has been treated.

Who decides the wage - you, the Romanian plaster boarder or the boss! There's lots to criticise about the EU (it is another bosses cartel) but when it comes to workers rights (yours or the Romanian) there's one guarantee - division of workers mean the bosses win, solidarity and strong Trades Unions is the answer. Get your enemy clear in your sights - it's the rich and powerful not the fellow worker.
Trades Unions are done Tony. It’s not the 70’s or the 80’s anymore. And the market decides the wages and flooding the market with people who are willing to work for less then the going rate hasn’t been a good thing. Working class people went out and got behind Brexit in a way they have never got behind anything before, Corbyn could have been true to his instincts and embraced Brexit instead he had been impartial on it to keep the Hillary benns of his party on side and the rest of the red conservatives.

Very fair points, Brexit has been hijacked by the right - there is a left wing version which never got aired; as you rightly say Corbyn was emasculated by the New Labour rump and the chance for Labour to lead a working class revolt against the elite was lost. Blair's biggest failing was not reversing Thatcher's anti-Union legislation but, in my dotage, I won't give up hope that workers can still use their one bargaining chip (of withdrawing their labour) to offset the control of the elite.
I remember lefties talking about LEXIT and plenty of honest and decent people on the left campaigning for Brexit such as George Galloway and Kate hoey. They have been treated disgracefully by prominent remainers and activists.
