The article I linked to about spin is a useful read. There is a difference between spin, which is a presentational trick, and outright lies (such as, for example, "there are no seats" when in fact there are).

Corbyn is guilty of telling an outright lie, in a way almost guaranteed to get himself caught, and then spectacularly mismanaging the fallout. He isn't fit to lead any political party, never mind the country.
With all due respect, Corbyn couldn't run a children's party.

Aside from UK PLC not so slowly grinding to a halt, can you imagine the sort of international incidents Corbyn would get us into if he were leading the country? In political terms he's like a sad old man who's become a bit of a hermit with some odd and not very nice habits which he hitherto got away with because nobody noticed. Can anyone seriously imagine him representing and negotiating anything of any worth for the UK? Right now he's only the leader of a party in what I hope is terminal decline yet he's managed to show himself as a ditherer or fantasist on virtually all the important issues he's faced.
