Labour leader's baptism of fire has seen rows about patriotism, appointments and party management question his credibility.

Week 1 Jeremy Corbyn faces immediate questions about his patriotism after failing to sing the national anthem at a Battle of Britain remembrance service. A chaotic reshuffle sees aides begging Labour MPs to serve in his defence team. He reads out voters’ messages at Prime Minister’s Questions.

Week 2 A leaked paper written by Lord Mandelson warns that electing Mr Corbyn was like “putting two fingers up” to the voters. The Telegraph reveals Mr Corbyn once claimed 9/11 was "manipulated" to allow the West to go to war in Afghanistan.

Week 3 Exterminate! Mr Corbyn visits Entrepreneurial Spark in Brighton on the eve of the Labour Party conference (Photo: LNP) Half a dozen members of Mr Corbyn’s own shadow cabinet issue public criticism after saying he would not press the nuclear button if in Number 10. Maria Eagle, his shadow defence secretary, says they comments were unhelpful.

Week 4 John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor gets a round of applause from his leader (Photo: Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images) Mr Corbyn snubs the Queen by refusing to be sworn into the Privy Council. David Cameron launches his harshest attacks on the Labour leader, criticising his “security-threatening, terrorist-sympathising, Britain-hating ideology”.

Week 5 John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, completes a U-turn by announcing Labour will now oppose George Osborne’s “fiscal charter” to balance the books. Mr McDonnell calls the reversal “embarrassing” five times in a row in the Commons. Moderate Labour MPs abstain – their first rebellion under Mr Corbyn.

Week 6 Mr Corbyn appoints Seumas Milne, the Guardian columnist, as his new director of communications, triggering an angry response from some MPs. One former Labour parliamentary candidate brands the appointment "morally and ethically wrong” due to his controversial comments on foreign policy.

Week 7 Simon Danczuk, one of Mr Corbyn’s most vocal internal critics, offers to run as a “stalking horse” against the Labour leader. However a damaging Tory defeat in the Lords over tax credits marks Mr Corbyn’s first big political victory since becoming leader.

Mr Corbyn is criticised for not bowing deeply enough at a Remembrance Sunday service.

Week 9 Mr Corbyn is finally sworn into the Privy Council, with the life-long republican kissing the hand of the Queen. He welcomes news of the death of Jihadi John by saying it would have been “far better” if he had been tried in court.
