 Says the person who has called the PM consistently   
It's hardly smearing it's the truth.

 Got a link for that, please? (for Keir Starmer’s Shadow Cabinet, not RLB’s, where it was stated " Asked if he would accept a new shadow cabinet role, Corbyn said he would “see what it is”, adding: “I didn’t know I was going to be offered anything and you’re telling me something that I didn’t know.”".

 The article I was referring to was this one, but you're right, he did not say anything about Starmer's list as far as I know.
 
Sorry, I think we were at cross purposes!

 Yes, even a busted clock is right twice a day! Most decisions Corbyn has made while Leader of the Opposition have been the wrong call.

 Don't apologise.  Everyone knows that Corbyn offered himsellf by "... declining to rule out the idea of serving in the next shadow cabinet".    
 
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...w-cabinet-role 
 
He was hedging but his desire is clear - and he would have known that Starmer was a fair bet to be Leader..

 His desire to be in the Shadow Cabinet it might have been but there was absolutely zero chance of Labour's new leader ever taking a blind bit of notice of it as there was never the faintest hope of it ever happening.

			Corbyn equivocates.  It's just what he does.  I don't think anything he has said can be construed as his hoping for a shadow cabinet job.  Just that he is more or less incapable of making an unqualified statement about anything.
