Corbyn sorry over anti-Semitism

    Jeremy Corbyn has said sorry for the hurt caused by anti-Semitism in the Labour Party , in a video message.

How do you get 100 percent of anything? We always have somebody who says I don't like Trump, I don't like our president, he destroyed my career, Trump said. I only destroy their career because they said bad things about me and you fight back and they go down the tubes and that's OK, he added. Trump didn't name names, but he's on a winning streak in GOP primaries, as candidates he's backed have repeatedly defeated those he sided against. The most notable example was Rep. Mark Sanford, the former South Carolina governor who lost a GOP primary for reelection to his House seat earlier this sum...
