RE Brian Derbyshire's letter "They make you weep", May 14.

Well Brian you can cry all you want.

The Tories did not win this election your beloved Labour Party lost it.

This is why Labour lost the election:

1. The ex-leader of the Labour Party Ed Miliband was not up to the standard required to be Prime Minister. Also anybody that stabs his own brother in the back is just not one that can be trusted.

2.No Prime Minister should be a puppet to the Unions, this is what he would have been.

3. No vote on the in or out of the EU.

4. The Labour Party would have had to rely on the SNP to prop them up. They would have had our country and your party to ransom.

5. It was only the English voters who voted the Tory Party into government not because they are all Conservatives but because we are English and we did not want this country ruled by the SNP and the left wing loonies.

6. You will be weeping for a long long time unless you get those Scottish Labour voters back. If they don't return to the fold, your party is a dead duck.

7. Nothing to do with food banks or the NHS or the cuts that had to be made. Just plain and simple Ed Miliband, the Unions and SNP.

8.That's it in a nutshell.
