Keir Starmer is being urged to clarify his approach to Labour frontbenchers attending trade union picket lines, as leftwing campaigners press the party’s MPs to support striking workers.
Starmer’s allies say he will decide whether to lift the picket line ban when he returns from his holiday on 15 August, after an embarrassing standoff with Lisa Nandy, the shadow levelling up secretary, who was pictured chatting with striking CWU workers in her Wigan constituency on Monday.
