It's hardly smearing it's the truth.

You know that. I know that. Nobody told Corbyn.
He thought it was a slam dunk.

I very much doubt anyone thought there would be a place for him, least of all JC himself.

I disagree. He put his name forward for it. Totally delusional!

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.

He was hedging but his desire is clear - and he would have known that Starmer was a fair bet to be Leader..

Re: Sir Keir Starmer elected as new Labour leader
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.
