Lisa Nandy visits picket line despite Keir Starmer's instruction that frontbenchers should not attend strikes

Summary by Ground News

Lisa Nandy, the shadow levelling up secretary, has visited striking communications workers, days after Keir Starmer sacked his shadow transport minister for comments made on a rail picket line. Starmer has previously told shadow frontbenchers they should not join picket lines for strikes, arguing that Labour should be a party of government. One shadow minister said Nandy’s appearance at the strikes, along with several other frontbenchers across the country, meant the ban was “effectively over in practice”.
