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 Farage:

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/s…
He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

He's appealing too much to the middle class:

He's not appealing enough to the middle class:

Corbyn is a Red Tory - who doesn't care about the problems faced by people on low wages:

independent.co.uk/voices/jeremy-…
Corbyn is an anti-Capitalist - who is insufficiently grovelling towards companies which employ people on low wages:

He's too radical (note the URL):

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
He's not radical enough:

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
He's too much of a centrist, and too much of a fringe figure, in the same article:

independent.co.uk/voices/jeremy-…
Corbyn is like Donald Trump:

the-tls.co.uk/articles/publi…
He makes Trump look like a genius:

huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/01/20/jam…
He's worse than Donald Trump:

mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
He's not principled enough:

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
In fact he's putting principle before power:

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
Actually, he's putting power before principle:

progressonline.org.uk/2018/01/25/pus…
Too mundane to be a threat to life as we know it:

spiked-online.com/2015/09/21/no-…
He's not interested in power:

blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/05/corbyn…
He's too interested in power:

standpointmag.co.uk/features-septe…
And too radically left-wing:

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
And not radically left-wing enough:

spectator.co.uk/2016/05/what-l…
Not keen enough on Brexit:

dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…
Not brave enough to reconsider his position on Brexit;

Reconsidering his position on Brexit, due to cowardice:

theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/mi…
He's wrong not to oppose Theresa May's plans for Brexit:

thetimes.co.uk/article/we-can…
He's wrong not to support Theresa May's plans for Brexit:

thetimes.co.uk/article/labour…
By failing to oppose Tory Brexit, Corbyn is acting against the national interest:

He's wrong for not wanting a general election:

telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/2…
He's wrong for wanting a general election:

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Corbyn makes Labour's electoral oblivion inevitable:

mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/a…
He should easily have won the General Election, with a landslide victory:
