Yes, but the fiercest grip on the bayonet came from Corbyn himself - his handling of it was disastrous, and likely went against everything every one of his advisers recommended - you don’t engage is the prime rule - you make a small statement, and move on with a dead cat or a snazzy splash. Big statements, big movements, more to look at, more to push against, bad optics. See how Johnson handles his erstwhile crises - this is how he gets away with it. In my view he was a good and integral man, somewhat guileless, and therefore utterly, utterly unsuited for politics - and he got eaten alive resultantly.
