"Everything bad you've heard about Johnson and the Tories is 100% true. Everything bad you've heard about Corbyn and Labour is a disinformation campaign."

That doesn't explain all the Labour MPs who quit to form their own party. That doesn't explain all the high-profile Labour members who have quit over dissatisfaction over the party's direction. That doesn't explain all of the internal strife and ethics issues that they have had to deal with over the last few years, nor their inability to come to consensus on where they should stand on brexit. That doesn't explain why all the other parties are unified in their agreement that corbyn should not become pm.

Labour has real issues, and pretending that every negative thing they've been dealing with is some sort of Psy Ops campaign shows a deep willingness to buy into conspiracy theories as long as they keep you from having to challenge your worldview.

In fairness, a big part of the problem is that a number of labour mps aren't even remotely left wing.

Obviously, if you're a centrist, you aren't going to like that Corbyn was left wing. But then, if the party members have voted for him knowing full well that that's what he is, if you're an mp in that party and disagree with the direction set out by the members, the issue isn't the leader so much as you're in the wrong party. This did lead to an identity crisis in the party, but I feel like given the level of support Corbyn got from party members, the fault really lies with other mps trying to derail him rather than him.
