Labour frontbencher Lisa Nandy today met with striking workers on a picket line - days after a shadow minister was sacked for unauthorised comments at a similar demonstration.
Ms Nandy, shadow leveling up secretary, spoke to members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) who walked out of their jobs at BT and Openreach in her Wigan constituency.
Labour leader Keir Starmer - who has previously told his top team not to join picket lines - was aware of the meeting, it is understood.
