(Picture: PA Wire)Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner on Tuesday risked a split with Sir Keir Starmer over the rail strikes after she signalled her support for workers taking industrial action.
Despite Sir Keir’s appeal to members of his shadow cabinet not to join picket lines, several senior Labour figures — including Scottish leader Anas Sarwar and Kate Osborne — showed their solidarity by posting pictures of themselves alongside striking workers on social media.
