This is what the left fail to grasp, they might pick up a few disgruntalled voters but they will most if not all of the votes of more moderate Labour supporters plus all the floating voters.

There's the 3.8 million UKIP voters up for grabs at the next election.

And 17m more that could be called "low hanging fruit".

Do you think they won't contest next general election.

Its sensational! Corbyn is apologising in Westminster about Labour's handling of the Iraq War. No wonder the Blairites wanted him out of the way!

Their specious web of lies about this toxic conflict have collapsed about their ears, and now a quiet man of principle, with the full support of the membership, is showing them for what they are.

Tony's Blair's cheeks should burn with shame two times.

So I now apologise sincerely on behalf of my party for the disastrous decision to go to war in Iraq in March 2003.

That apology is owed first of all to the people of Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost and the country is still living with the devastating consequences of the war and the forces it unleashed.

They have paid the greatest price for the most serious foreign policy calamity of the last 60 years.

The apology is also owed to the families of those soldiers who died in Iraq or who have returned home injured or incapacitated.

They did their duty but it was in a conflict they should never have been sent to.

Finally, it is an apology to the millions of British citizens who feel our democracy was traduced and undermined by the way in which the decision to go to war was taken on the basic of secret ‘I will be with you, whatever’ understandings given to the US president that have now been publicly exposed.

I doubt if Corbyns 'apology ' on behalf of the labour party will gain any votes
I'm pretty sure an apology from Corbyn for supporting the IRA would.

He'll be apologising for Britains declaration of war on Germany in 1939 next.

I think even you can appreciate that World War II was different to the illegal and unnecessary invasion of Iraq. An action that has led to 179 British dead and upwards of a million Iraqi people.

and I'm sure you will understand the appalling nature of Corbyn et al's support for the murdering IRA: which you are seem not be condemn

I'm sure I've already told people that Corbyn is not going to resign.:)
