From the wording of Corbyn's quotes, it seems clear to me he is being 'political' and simply avoiding critising his own MP rather than not being aware of what is going on.
It's disingenuous, but that's what politicians from across the spectrum do, especially when asked to comment on a collegue ..... unless they actually have it in for them and then it's all snidey backstabbing time.
Agreed in general, but isn't Corbyn hailed as being special that he doesn't do that. You know just like he didn't fake news by pretending there weren't any seats. And the list is endless. Yet his supporters seem blind to that.
It's a fundamental part of politics now a days, except when you either don't care or don't expect to get into any position of power.
Be it in business, politics or relationships, there is the necessary evil of 'diplomacy' and being liberal with the truth, so I guess it's more a case of judging people on the amount of it they do rather than whether they do or don't.
There are always going to be sycophants and 'believers' that won't accept reality or evidence, so it's no surprise there are some diehard Corbyn fans that refuse to see a difference from him being a back bench nobody that says what he thinks to a leader of a party that simply can't all the time and still be a leader.
Agreed - you and I seem to be able to recognise that. But I say it again, one of Corbyns 'unique' features is that he is different and above that, and sure it would be nice but the reality is he isn't at all...
Since his election victory defeat, he has shown his true hand. So he has denied that he ever promised to write off existing student debt, even though at least 2 of his shadow ministers were quoted claiming that he was going to write it off, so obviously believed him.
He admitted to Beavis at Glasto that he was still committed to scrapping Trident despite standing on a manifesto to maintain it.
He has betrayed all the remainerswho voted for him believing he would deliver them a "soft" Brexit, by stating that we will definitely need to leave the Single Market, otherwise we will not have left the EU.
He is a calculating politician who lies when it is to his advantage, no different to any other. His so called reputation for honesty and principled beliefs is total guff.
