I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.
One of the oddest features of the Labour tax row is how raising allowances, which the media allowed the LDs to describe as progressive (in spite of evidence to contrary) through the coalition years, is now seen by everyone as very right wing

I\u2019m no fan but it\u2019s really, really not. Trump attacks the ones telling the truth; Corbyn attacks the ones peddling racist lies. https://t.co/vtwJYBrDpq

\u201cThis week we have had a chilling insight into Corbyn\u2019s authoritarianism. For a politician to make open threats against the press is deeply disturbing. He cares nothing for free speech or press freedom.\u201d

\u201cThere\u2019s a great irony to the Czech spy story: Corbyn insists he wasn\u2019t involved with the Stalinists and yet he has responded in a quite Stalinist way to this story.\u201d

The reason Corbyn is adopting a more aggressively pro-Brexit stance is the same reason he\u2019s aggressively rejecting the IHRA definition. He\u2019s calculated he can take Labour Remainer votes for granted. They\u2019ll sulk a bit, then say \u201cbut the food-banks\u201d, and vote for him.

Corbyn doesn't have the guts to allow his position on Brexit to be challenged and the membership don't have the guts to make him.

This idea - that elections should translate into policy - is not wrong at all. But political science can help explain why it's not working this way. There are three main explanations: 1. mandates are constructed, not automatic, 2. party asymmetry, 3. partisan conpetition 1/
First, party/policy mandates from elections are far from self-executing in our system. Work on mandates from Dahl to Ellis and Kirk on the history of the mandate to mine on its role in post-Nixon politics, to Peterson Grossback and Stimson all emphasize that this link is... 2/
Created deliberately and isn't always persuasive. Others have to convinced that the election meant a particular thing for it to work in a legislative context. I theorized in the immediate period of after the 2020 election that this was part of why Repubs signed on to ...3/
Trump's demonstrably false fraud nonsense - it derailed an emerging mandate news cycle. Winners of elections get what they get - institutional control - but can't expect much beyond that unless the perception of an election mandate takes hold. And it didn't. 4/
Let's turn to the legislation element of this. There's just an asymmetry in terms of passing a relief bill. Republicans are presumably less motivated to get some kind of deal passed. Democrats are more likely to want to do *something.* 5/
I\u2019m sorry it\u2019s just insane that Democrats are like, \u201cwe won everything and our opening position on relief is $1.9T\u201d and Republicans are like, \u201cwe lost and our opening position is $600B,\u201d and the media will be like, \u201cDemocrats say they want unity but reject this bipartisan deal.\u201d
