I just don't think those things can be credited to Corbyn - each one was achieved because Tories rebelled against their own party / leader, and I don't see how it is Corbyn who made them do that.
E.g. Tuesday's vote - in what sense was the brexit vote defeated because of Corbyn's stance? The objectionable bit for Tories was the Irish backstop and their inability to reconcile what they can get out of the negotiation with what they think they should get. Corbyn has continued to peddle the myth that somehow a better deal is on offer but for reasons not explained only he could get it.

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.
