Part five. 2019 was an epic rollercoaster ride for Corbyn. As the year began it was still unclear where he and his party stood on Brexit, but when it came to crucial votes Labour MPs overwhelmingly blocked Brexit at every opportunity. Theresa May cannot get her withdrawal agreement over the line and Brexit is postponed - twice. She quits and Boris Johnson takes up the reins with a promise that Britain would leave at Halloween, deal or no deal. He fails and yet another general election is the only way out of the stalemate...

Brexit is blamed initially and, to a lesser, extent 'right-wing media smears'.
