A sacked former Labour frontbencher has been booted out by his local party after a bitter battle to cling onto his seat.
Sam Tarry, who was dismissed as shadow transport minister in July. tonight learned he will not be able to stand again in his Ilford South seat.
He was defeated by Jas Athwal, leader of Redbridge Council, in a bitter run-off after Labour branch members voted to start the hotly-contested deselection process earlier this year.
