LONDON (AP) – Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has apologized to supporters for the crushing defeat in the British general election. But he has defended his campaign – which failed to resonate with the party’s working-class base – as “one of hope rather than fear.” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party won 365 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons in Thursday’s landslide election. Labour took 203 seats, its worst total since 1935. Corbyn writes in a letter in a left-leaning British newspaper on Sunday that, “I’m sorry that we came up short and I take my responsibility for it.”
