John McDonnell has been criticised after new footage emerged of him repeating the suggestion that he would like to "assassinate" Margaret Thatcher despite previously claiming he was "sorry" for the remarks.

In 2010, Mr McDonnell caused a furore by suggesting he would like to travel back in time and kill Margaret Thatcher in the Labour leadership contest. He subsequently apologised after he was condemned by both Tory and Labour MPs.

However on Monday new footage of Mr McDonnell from 2014 emerged of him joking about the incident and insisting that there was "massive support" for assassinating Mrs Thatcher, a year after she passed away.
