Mr Nunns, a long-time cheerleader for Mr Corbyn on social media, defended the Labour leader after a video emerged in August last year showing Mr Corbyn saying Zionists “don't understand English irony” despite having lived in the country for a very long time - remarks that were widely condemned as antisemitic.
Mr Nunns wrote on Twitter at the time: “In clearer language, the point Corbyn made was, ‘Despite being English, these particular pro-Israel activists have a poorer sense of irony than the Palestinian ambassador whose speech they attended.’ The whole point is that they aren’t foreign or un-English.”
According to political blog the Red Roar, Mr Nunns also compared the G8 under Tony Blair’s presidency to the leader of Nazi Germany in an interview, saying that on poverty “they are expecting G8 to come up with a solution when G8 is itself the problem. This is like petitioning Hitler to help the Jews.”
