'Dozens and dozens of shadow ministers will be sacked' over Labour's picket line spat, former shadow minister Sam Tarry has told LBC.
Labour said the MP had been "removed from the frontbench" but denied that it was due to his appearance during the strikes.
"This isn't about appearing on a picket line. Members of the frontbench sign up to collective responsibility. That includes media appearances being approved and speaking to agreed frontbench positions. Mr Tarry earlier told Sky News he was "not defying anybody" but instead supporting "40,000 low-paid transport workers".
Fourteen train operating companies took action on Wednesday in an ongoing row over pay, jobs and conditions. "Those same workers have been forced to take action because they're faced with a cost-of-living crisis and rampant inflation caused by the government's mismanagement of our economy, leaving millions struggling to pay their bills and provide for their families, made worse by the fact that callous and incompetent ministers refuse to even negotiate with their trade unions.
