Labour's imposed candidate in Islington North ducks health debate with Jeremy Corbyn
Praful Nargund, who is bidding to unseat Mr Corbyn, is a private health entrepreneur and has said privatisation is needed in the NHS

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.

The no-hope Tory candidate for the seat also decided to duck the debate, forcing its cancellation.
