No, disinformation. The thing to remember about Corbyn is that you need to listen to what he says, not what others say he says. Private Eye did a great skit on this at the time by doing no more than 'What Corbyn said' next to 'What the papers said he said'. evolvepolitics.com/jo-swinson-f...

What's incredible is that list was made in September 2015. Imagine what it would have looked like four years later.

Perhaps Corbyn should have had better press advisors

Corbyn was a bad leader in this regard. If people said stupid things about him, he ignored it. So the mud stuck and got thicker, but he never learned. He still hasn't learned. It's one way he never made the transition from backbench activist to party leader.

You’re right - he is/was one of good guys but should have had a good PR person to translate his thoughts into media speak

In seeking to be his replacement in the leadership contest, RLB - his closest ally - said one of the first things she would set up if she won was a rebuttals unit. 🤭
