I agree but the problem with Corbyn politically is the right wing media twist or lie about what he says, they’ve done a job on him since he nearly won in 2017. For that reason he has become a liability for Labour as a party trying to win an election.But there's only a mis-match in messaging because Starmer has consistently avoided telling the truth (as per the criticism from Martin Forde last week).
If Corbyn was going out of his way to be awkward (George Galloway springs to mind as someone ploughing their own furrow) then I'd understand it.
The problem is the truth regarding Corbyn is easily available for anyone that cares and that makes Starmer (and by extension the Labour party) look crooked.
This isn't 'good politics' - it's petty vindictiveness.
