John Mann tells the Today programme:

“It was horrendous, it insults people like me, it insults the people I know ,my friends and family, Labour voters across the country. White vans, England flags, are Labour values, and pretty routine Labour values for most of us. It’s embarrassing for him and for the Labour party. It shows that somebody was rather out of touch with most parts of the country, and with Labour voters and Labour values across the country.”
