Not really incompatible.
There's a difference between aiming to offer enough to a group to keep their support, and pandering to or gaining ground with a group.
I think he's trying to do the former. He can still be "for" the left or progressives (both things I would say about myself) even if in some ways he's trying to appeal to a wider audience.

Why ask this rhetorical when your previous point was supposed to be:
Your angle cannot simultaneously be: "Starmer doesn't need to pander to the left" and "saying Starmer isn't pandering to the left is ridiculous".
