This is what I was talking about yesterday. The reasons for it are almost irrelevant. It's the fact that he does that is absolutely critical, and disastrous. Because you can complain he doesn't get a fair shake until the cows come home, but that won't change his negative effect.
But his own supporters are too enamoured of him to notice this effect. They're missing one of the most critical factors shaping the whole election campaign.

"Why's Boris Johnson doing so well when he's such an untrustworthy weasel? It's beyond comprehension." No, it's Corbyn!
And that's why Labour's campaign has gone nowhere. It's like trying to drive with the handbrake on. We are in a dreadful mess now because too few people acknowledge it. It doesn't matter if he's loved by 100% of Labour members, that appeal simply doesn't reach a wider audience.
It also explains why so many people, including me, are furious at the way Labour has fumbled the election. We recognised the problem early on, and have watched aghast as Labour and its core supporters have remained blind to it.
