How does Wrack's political background and past stances on antisemitism allegations affect his suitability for leading the NASUWT?

Wrack's nomination is controversial due to his lack of education experience, his association with left-wing groups and the Labour party, and concerns about his past responses to antisemitism allegations within the Labour party. Some NASUWT members view him as a poor fit for the union's generally more moderate stance compared to the NEU, which is currently holding a strike ballot.
