Rats, rubbish and bin strikes – how is Labour going to clean up? | The Daily T

It’s all a bit rubbish, isn’t it?

There’s still no solution for the residents of Birmingham as negotiations to end the bin strike have once again failed to result in an agreement. As the backlog of waste grows by 1,000 tonnes a week, an infestation of ‘cat-sized rats’ has taken over the city, with Health Secretary Wes Streeting saying he is “concerned” about the public health risk.

We hear from residents in the city about their feelings on Unite Unions’ strike action and what it means for their streets, and local Conservative Councillor Timothy Huxtable tells us why people have lost trust in Birmingham city council, blaming Labour for mismanaging the waste service.

And on the subject of Labour failings, we ask if the Government has once again failed victims of grooming by dropping inquiries into scandals.
