Labour MP John Mann says he and 鈥渜uite a number of鈥� his colleagues 鈥渟aw what was coming鈥� 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 鈥渆xpected to see a majority Conservative government鈥�.

鈥淭hat was what we were hearing on the doorsteps 鈥� not 鈥榳e love the Conservatives,鈥� but 鈥榳e don鈥檛 trust Labour鈥欌�� said the MP for Bassetlaw.

鈥淩epeatedly people said they didn鈥檛 see Ed Miliband as being a suitable Prime Minister. That was hundreds of times every day I heard that, every day this year.鈥�

He added immigration was a 鈥渉uge issue鈥� for people, and if Labour wanted to win support back they should argue for an 鈥淎ustralian points based system鈥�.
