What the Lib Dems want is a PM who'll get the extension, call a quick election in which they pick up lots of seats, and promptly retire. Corbyn plainly won't fit that last part, at the very least, so it's not exactly rocket science as to why they don't want him.
Ultimately, I'm sure that a compromise will be hammered out behind closed doors, because it's in the interests of all parties to see Johnson fail. Clarke and Beckett have been brought up as likely candidates, but there are as many credible alternatives as the opposition have backbenchers who don't want to stand again.
