A LABOUR by-election candidate once called for a ban on nuclear weapons and open borders as she pushed for a raft of left-wing policies.
Genevieve Kitchen is standing for the party in the Wellingborough contest next Thursday.
But a letter she signed in 2019, when she was a London councillor, had controversial policy ideas.
They included wanting a second referendum to be held on Brexit.
Other proposals included a “massive expansion of public ownership, including of the banks and finance”.

Tory chair Richard Holden said: “Sir Keir wants everyone to think that the Labour Party has changed under his watch — but it’s clear that’s not the case.”
“It’s the same old Labour — the party of protest with no plan of how to put for any of their bonkers lefty ideas that would damage Britain’s security and leave hardworking taxpayers picking up the tab.”
A Labour spokesperson said the letter was from five years ago and “Gen believes the people have spoken” on Brexit.
Labour added: “Her focus is on improving the lives of Wellingborough locals after 14 years of Tory neglect.
“She wants to regenerate our town centres, work to reduce knife crime and improve access to GP and dentist appointments – the issues that come up day in and day out on the doors.”
