However, Corbyn enjoys no such support from his fellow Labour MP's who have launched a challenge to his leadership. With less than a week to go before this fresh leadership election comes to a conclusion - and with Corbyn expected to be re-elected by party members - the BBC's deputy political editor John Pienaar asks if this is the end of the road for the historic political party.
