If labour had had a 'better leader', or at least one that had not been so constantly vilified by the press, Theresa May would not have called a snap election in 2017 and her deal would likely have got through parliament already.
Corbyn's far from perfect but it seems that he just can't win in some people's eyes. If he hadn't called the vote of no confidence (which was agreed at conference), then he would have been labelled a coward. Now he has, and he's been labelled as a tactical ignoramus. The idea that May has the moral high ground because she bought the votes of the most reactionary party in UK politics to keep her afloat is laughable. This is of course compounded by the spinelessness of the Tory MPs who overwhelmingly voted against her deal yesterday, only to cling to power for their own sakes today.

Useless eh.

very hard to see how we'd be in quite the mess we are.
This I hear constantly. Mostly from those who voted to leave. But all of this was foreseeable.
Corbyn is torn between his union leaders instruction to honour the referendum and his membership who would like a people’s vote. As someone who’d rather leave the EU, this isn’t comfortable for him.
May’s way forward is to promise her promt departure and relinquish power to parliament who will back a people’s vote eventually. As someone who would rather remain in the EU, she’s maybe ok with this?

So an entirely predictable outcome, and now May is in a position where she can have the moral high ground over Corbyn because of winning the vote.
He had the political advantage for 24hrs before he lost it again.
He's utterly useless as a leader of the opposition, and as any kind of meaningful opposition to the government's autocratic and disastrous handling of brexit.
If labour had a better leader, very hard to see how we'd be in quite the mess we are.
