Labour MP John Mann says he and “quite a number of” his colleagues “saw what was coming” in the weeks before their election defeat to the Conservatives. Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman said Labour were not expecting to lose, but Mann claims many of his colleagues “expected to see a majority Conservative government”. “That was what we were hearing on the doorsteps – not ‘we love the Conservatives,’ but ‘we don’t trust Labour’” said the MP for Bassetlaw. “Repeatedly people said they didn’t see Ed Miliband as being a suitable Prime Minister. That was hundreds of times every day I heard that, every day this year.” He added immigration was a “huge issue” for people, and if Labour wanted to win support back they should argue for an “Australian points based system”.
