Sir Keir Starmer was facing fresh questions about the influence of union barons on his party last night as it emerged that three senior Labour MPs have held talks with bosses of Aslef – the train drivers’ union behind Saturday’s rail strikes.
Louise Haigh, the party’s transport spokesman, posted online about holding talks with Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan over the weekend.
Barry Gardiner, the former international trade spokesman, visited Aslef’s central London head office in May for talks with the union’s senior officials.
Meanwhile, Tan Dhesi, Labour’s rail spokesman, held talks with Mr Whelan in his office last year.
