Was the Labour leader right to sack the Ilford South MP from the shadow cabinet after joining striking rail workers on a picket line.
In a statement, Labour said it would "always stand up for working people fighting for better pay, terms and conditions at work".
The TSSA transport union, of which Mr Tarry is a former member, said Labour was "deluded" if it thought it could win the next election "while pushing away seven million trade union members". Labour maintains that Sam Tarry was sacked not for appearing on a picket line - something that would have earned a reprimand - but for making unauthorised media appearances in which he talked about policy areas which went beyond his brief.But there has been a political cost.
Several Labour MPs, including Diane Abbott, John McDonnell, Rachel Maskell, Mick Whitley and Kim Johnson, have also said Mr Tarry should not have lost his job. "Just at a time when the Tories are tearing themselves apart, and we've got the maximum opportunity, I think, to gain an advantage in the polls that will build the support to take us into a government, we're having this completely unnecessary row."
He said he wanted to be "part of a Labour Party that stands in solidarity with workers in their disputes, wherever that may be in this country".
