Corbyn faced a coup in 2016—again, less than a year into his premiership—for receiving poll results not dissimilar to Starmer's latest Survation poll
He faced a coup for his Brexit stance - even the coverage from the time makes that clear. It's fine to disagree with someone's opinions but let's not disagree over facts.
Yes, Starmer is better at managing the PLP, but that is only made possible by the fact that he represents the dominant wing of the party.
Corbyn's wing had full control of the party machinery in 2019, from NEC to LOTO, and we had our worst result in a hundred years.

I'm sorry but the idea that the PLP under Starmer has been anywhere near as unruly as it was under Corbyn is ridiculous. Corbyn faced a coup in 2016—again, less than a year into his premiership—for receiving poll results not dissimilar to Starmer's latest Survation poll.
