LABOUR’S imposed candidate in Islington North, Praful Nargund, has refused to attend hustings organised by Islington branch of Keep our NHS Public, forcing their cancellation.
The move is no surprise since Mr Nargund, bidding to unseat Jeremy Corbyn, is a private health entrepreneur who has said privatisation is needed in the NHS.
