LONDON: Britain’s main opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn apologised Sunday for waging a disastrous campaign that handed Prime Minister Boris Johnson a mandate to take the UK out of the EU next month.
But the veteran socialist defended his far-left platform and blamed the media for helping relegate his century-old party to its worst performance since before World War II. “I will make no bones about it. The election result on Thursday was a body blow for everyone who so desperately needs real change in our country,” Corbyn wrote in the Sunday Mirror newspaper. “I wanted to unite the country that I love but I´m sorry that we came up short and I take my responsibility for it.” Thursday´s snap general election turned into a re-run of the 2016 EU membership referendum in which Johnson championed the Brexit cause.
