Barry Gardiner said: “I ran an honest campaign. We did that in Brent North and we did that nationally.”

He accused the Prime Minister Theresa May of “arrogance” and “taking the country for granted, adding that the Conservative’s manifesto was “light on details” which “where it provided any clarity it actually smacked the people of this country”.

He compared it to the Labour manifesto which was “honest and straightforward”.
