Here's Jo Swinson's problem (as I see it): she doesn't want to go into coalition with Corbyn. She might with someone much less radical and much more pro Remain (eg Keir Starmer). But not Corbyn. However, she was accused before of trying to dictate what Labour should do.
So she is now sensibly trying to steer away from venturing beyond not propping up a Corbyn government.
But the lazy media are conflating her remarks about "Labour under Jeremy Corbyn" with remarks about Labour *in general*.
Basically she's a bit stuck on this.

Note: for what it's worth, I believe she's right. The LibDems shouldn't go into coalition with a Corbyn-led government. That's not to say they can't back individual policies one-by-one, eg a second referendum. But not in a formal coalition.
If Labour changes, the story does too.
