Praful Nargund, Labour’s candidate for Islington North, chooses his words carefully when criticising Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn has held the seat for over 40 years, but has been blocked by Labour from standing in the general election, after saying that allegations of anti-semitism in the party while he was leader were overstated in 2020.
Nargund thinks the comments were wrong. “It's certainly not what I would have said,” Nargund says. “I thought it was a moment where we needed to take whatever action was necessary to fix the problem.”
