Former Labour MP Sam Tarry was seen speaking at a BT strike on July 29 just days after he was sacked.

He is heard saying: "People are realising in their constituencies across the country, it's no good just to say we're going to take a swerve, we're going to duck and dive and not stand shoulder to shoulder with workers on the very frontline."

"There'll be doctors, barristers, nurses, the fire brigade union, every sector of our economy is going to be in dispute."

He adds: "We need a Labour leadership that doesn't look the other way."
