I think it's difficult for Labour politicians to come to Assange's defence at this time because we are in pre-election mode. If Corbyn were to say anything the media and the Labour rightwing, typified by that ghastly Jess Philips, and the 'liberal' media... the Guardian; would be all over him for 'disrespecting' all women and being soft on 'sexcrimes' and on, and on. The amount of energy, time and effort, one would have to expend, defending oneself for defending Assange, would be enormous, and in the current climate, for Corbyn, this would be like walking into a baited trap. What happens after the election, is another story.
