The former shadow transport minister Sam Tarry, who was sacked after giving broadcast interviews from a picket line, has said he “absolutely” still thinks Sir Keir Starmer is the best person to lead the country – but that Labour needs to show solidarity with striking workers.
The Labour MP for Ilford South, who joined the picket line at Paddington station in London on Saturday, told the PA news agency: “I believe Keir Starmer is absolutely still the best person to become prime minister and I’ll be campaigning every day for a Labour government.”
