If he apologised for the handling of antisemitism in Labour he would have admitted to not being able to handle antisemitism within his own party.
Which wouldn't have been a problem, had he handled it quickly and decisively in the first place.
It also didn't help that he was effectively overturning two manifesto commitments within a week of publishing it.

The questions were traps which he wasn't able to escape (not that they weren't inescapable or that he handled them in the best manner). If he apologised for antisemitism he would be admitting to being an anti-Semite. If he apologised for the handling of antisemitism in Labour he would have admitted to not being able to handle antisemitism within his own party.
I honestly think his Brexit position is the correct position. The media is allowing it to be turned into indecisiveness when it could just as easily report it as it is: the refusal to be partisan on a position which threatens to break up the UK.
