LABOUR’S candidate to replace Jeremy Corbyn in Islington North tomorrow has said the privatisation of healthcare is “very, very important” and was until recently director of an investment company for fertility services that made nearly £17 million tax-free profit in nine months.

Praful Nargund was filmed giving a talk in March 2015 saying that “as we are in the run-up to a general election in the UK, privatisation of healthcare is very, very important and it’s about what the private sector can do to prove its worth to the public sector.”

He was that month appointed director of strategy and growth at Create Health Holding Limited, which reported paying no tax on nearly £17m in profit for the last nine months of 2021, its Companies House filings show.
