Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner (Image: Getty)
Don't miss... Tories take lead in new poll as Labour hit by backlash to spring statement [LATEST]
"The awful Birmingham bin strike is imposing the most dreadful difficulties on my constituents in Royal Sutton Coldfield and across Birmingham
“It is a dispute between two wings of the Labour Party and is wholly owned misery courtesy of the Birmingham Labour Party."

“And they had over 10 years of austerity, they saw significant sums, billions of pounds, taken out of their budget and were not able to provide the most necessary of services.
“So we’re taking action to put local government on a better financial stabilisation after the 14 years of disaster that we’ve had.”
