Assassinating Thatcher is Nothing to Joke About

Labour MP John McDonnell has said he was "sorry" if he caused offence with his remarks about former Tory PM Margaret Thatcher.

At a Labour leadership event on Monday he said that if he could go back in time he would "assassinate Thatcher".

The left-wing MP told BBC Radio 5 Live it was meant as a "joke", but he could understand if people took offence.

Lost my  vote then.
