Keir Starmer Sacks Shadow Transport Minister Who Backed Rail Strikes

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has sacked his junior shadow transport minister who joined striking rail workers on a picket line.

Ilford South MP Sam Tarry attended the protest at London's Euston Station despite Sir Keir saying his frontbench MPs should stay away.

Speaking to reporters, Mr Tarry said " any Labour MP" would have " absolute solidarity with striking workers".

Labour said he had been fired for making unauthorised media appearances.
