Train strikes: Sam Tarry responds to being sacked by Starmer

Sam Tarry has said the Labour Party should not “turn our backs on the people who created and made our party”.

The junior shadow transport minister was sacked by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer after attending a protest at London’s Euston station – despite Sir Keir saying frontbench MPs should stay away.

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