What is going to happen in Peaky Blinders season five?

During season four of Steven Knight's family epic, we saw an insight into Tommy Shelby's fragile mental state during his brief retirement, before he managed to make a successful grab for political power.

Set during the financial crash of 1929, in season five Tommy is now the newly elected MP for Birmingham South, and when he's approached by a charismatic politician about a bold vision for Britain's future, Tommy realises his next steps will have far-reaching ramifications.
