Perhaps I'm missing something here.
The article mentions (once, plus in the headline) that the think-tank producing the report are pro-Corbyn. I don't see anywhere where it mentions that they are actually his advisers - top or otherwise.
Even the article says that the paper is a non-event, "with nothing more substantial behind it than pushing a weak political agenda"
So you're now trying to isolate Corbyn from his own advisors....!?!
But they are not advisors are they? They are part of a think tank. Think tanks are not advisors. You could rename yourself to "I twist the facts, to suit my argument"

No but if you read the following you could retract your comments or even apologise:
"Common Wealth, which has former Labour leader Ed Miliband on its advisory board,..." Now see:

That does not make him an advisor to Jeremy Corbyn or even the Labour Party.. So your still trying to twist the facts. The party has moved a long way away from the days when Ed Millibad was their leader. Anyway have you considered that even if it was to happen it might actually be a good policy to adopt. Incidently I do not live in london and have no views either way.

So let me get this right, you think; being on the
advisory board to Corbyn doesn't make you an
advisor...!?!?!
and you would rather say that other people are twisting things! How incredible!!!

You're wholly misreading it. Ed Miliband is on the advisory board to Common Wealth, the think tank who produced the report - not the advisory board to the Labour leadership. The second news report says the same thing.

Mr Boro Boy must be away. Otherwise, I'm sure that he would want to admit that he was indeed mistaken in his claims here (that the "Common Wealth" think tank are advisers to Mr Corbyn).
