I haven't followed the timeline too closely, but I imagine that Corbyn's call for investigation probably took place well before there was any definitive evidence either way, as did Trump's ridiculous posturing attack on some empty hangars and a runway.
Ri-ght... so the forces that are essentially winning the conflict and maintain overwhelming air superiority and military power decide to launch literally the only kind of attack that will draw international condemnation and probable military response from the West. They could have carpet bombed the place and killed everyone and only received a tenth of the coverage.
It doesnt make any sense at all.

It does actually, because these forces don't seem to be as cohesive and confident as they project. The confidence comes from Russian and Iranian support, but government militias are taking on a life of their own, and threatening the authority of the Assad clan. By some accounts.
There's a full deconstruction of the statement that that call for investigation was made in here: http://notris.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/corbyn-is-talking-shite-on-syria-again.html
27 April apparently. So three weeks after. I dobut very much he considered the evidence, just strikes the same pose he always does. The striking thing for me is that he doesn't mention Russian obstruction to condeming the gassing through the UN or blocking the investigation.
And makes sense? Oh come on dude. What about the conflict makes sense? It's a charnel house.
"Assad or the country burns". Does that "make sense"?
