It can be either.

Although technically a SINGULAR value (no one), none can use either singular or plural verbs, depending on the context (especially when an adverb indicates that it does not actually mean "no one" single person or thing).

None of them are going to the fair. Of the three candidates, none is going to the fair.

The value none meaning nothing, no part, is singular.

None of the cake is left.

But when used with plurals, either verb could be acceptable.

None of the cakes is left. None of the cakes are left.
