I don't think Starmer or Thornberry are in Corbyn's kitchen cabinet.

If they are then Starmer yes, Thornberry less so.

She certainly is very influential. They've had neighbouring constituencies for several decades. He, I think, has earned influence but is not trusted in the same way.

I get the impression that Corbyn speaks to Starmer after he has decided something and then Starmer talks him out of it.

I'd forgotten that Corbyn and Thornberry had neighbouring constituencies.
