Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership
Reviewing the BBC reporting of PMQ's today, one thing did spring out at me which I think may damage Mr Corbyn.

During PMQs, the DUP's Nigel Dodds condemned shadow chancellor John McDonnell's 2003 remarks that IRA terrorists should be "honoured". Mr Cameron told Mr Dodds he reflected the views of the "vast majority in this country". In response, a Labour Party spokeswoman has just said:
"Jeremy has clearly condemned all violence on all sides in Northern Ireland. It is because he is opposed to human grief and conflict that he worked for peace and talks. Northern Ireland has been one of the most difficult but inspiring examples of establishing peace and reconciliation after years of conflict. Jeremy Corbyn's approach will be to continue to move forward on that basis. He is opposed to all violence and that is why he backed talks to achieve peace when others refused to."

Compare that to David Cameron's reply to the question from Mr Dodds

people who seek to justify the terrorism Britain faced "should be ashamed of themselves"

Mr Corbyn's not going to have many friends if he keeps giving equivalence to the IRA killings to actions of the Army, imho.
