The difference is that Johnson can make and break all of those campaign policies without any controversy because his voters still think he's moving in their direction. Starmer's perceived duplicity is that he fundamentally moved against the left of the membership after pledging to bring them along. The reason it's not a big deal is because it's the membership not the electorate.
