A: Work for a startup for a few years and learn.
Lots of startups get stuck
before they get to Product-Market-Fit.
What would be the reasons?
Here are some, I see on a daily basis. They are related to issues with founders or market (in no particular order):
A: Work for a startup for a few years and learn.
A: Idea validation failure
A: If you are deep and know you are at the same league as in Steve Jobs, this makes sense
A: Spend month(s) on the problem and not on the solution.
A: Cocreate the product with a set of dedicated users or customers.
A: Co-create the product with friendly customers. At least 5 in enterprise and a group of 100+ in the consumer category.
A: Understand market sizing/TAM. If I have to guess, more than 50% fail here.
A: Understanding how angels and VCs think of categories and investment. U can always do frustrated tweets saying "VCs don't get it"...
A: Very common mistake. Spend 24 hours on Google and you will find every competitor. Benchmark them before you jump on your product.
A: Most of the founding team come together based on friendship rather than competency. In addition to friendship, there should be a massive respect for competency between each other.

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.
Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel
He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:
He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

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
