Labour MP removed from role as shadow transport minister after ignoring warning not to join picket lines
Sam Tarry has been sacked by Labour as a shadow transport minister for doing broadcast interviews from a rail strike picket line.
Keir Starmer has told shadow ministers not to join picket lines, stressing that Labour is a party seeking to govern that should aim to solve disputes. Several shadow ministers who joined picket lines during the last strike did not lose their jobs, despite the warning.
