It is looking like Starmer made a very wrong decision, given the mounting backlash.

Are you sure it was Starmer's doing?
Check out the report of a controversial reinstatement to the party under Corbyn's leadership in July 2019 as it readied for an election:

It seems a panel drawn from the party's National Executive Committee can make the decision.
So Starmer may not have initially wanted to take action against Corbyn. He said that at the conference when responding to the EHRC report. So perhaps he had the decision made for him...

You mean that you and Len McCuskey disapprove?

Well, I guess that is that Mr Starmer well fucked
