With Labour now expected to make few gains in England and lose most, if not all, seats in Scotland, Mr Mann says the party should not be surprised.

He tweeted: “Can’t say that Labour leadership weren’t warned repeatedly - those who even bothered to meet that is. Never hurts to listen.”

The Bassetlaw election is expected to be announced some time after 3.30am.
