Lisa Nandy and John McDonnell in angry TV clash over Labour attack ad

Senior Labour MPs clashed over the party’s controversial attack ad claiming Rishi Sunak doesn’t believe in imprisoning child sex abusers in a feisty TV exchange.

Frontbencher Lisa Nandy got into a heated confrontation with left-winger John McDonnell – who served with her in Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet – on the social media ads.

Ms McDonnell told Ms Nandy“this is not you” during the row on ITV’s Peston, arguing that Labour was wrong “personalise” the issues.
