So with that in mind how are we meant to read Corbyn's statement? At best it's a bit of ideological grandstanding or at worst it's a implicit criticism of the way the Government handled the issue.

How about we don't read anything into his statement except what he actually said, it saves pointless and meaningless conjecture. Much like on remembrance day when people couldn't wait to jump on him because he didn't bow down the regulation length, their ire was only satisfied when it became apparent corbyn was the only politician who stayed behind afterwards to meet the actual veterans.
