5:26Now PlayingLabour leadership candidate Lisa Nandy told James O'Brien the SNP "wilfully distorted" her comments on Scotland and Catalonia and those who believed she'd endorsed violence were being "conned."
Gary from North Lanarkshire challenged Lisa Nandy over the comments she made that the UK should "look to Catalonia" in order to quell "divisive nationalism."
The caller said said he found the comparison offensive as Spanish authorities used force to prevent the Catalonian independence referendum in 2017, especially as the Catalonian leaders are now in exile.
"Why did you feel that that was an appropriate statement to make?" he asked.
Lisa Nandy said she condemned the actions of the Spanish right-wing government and her comments were "wilfully distorted by the Scottish National Party".
"What I actually said was...in Scotland we have not understood how to deal with populist nationalism and that is a very particular issue that has arisen in Scotland that UK Labour, in particular, has struggled to understand and deal with," she said.
