Deputy PM accused of refusing to engage as union seeks to suspend membership and cut ties with Labour
Angela Rayner has been accused of handling the Birmingham bin workers’ strike in a “totally and utterly abhorrent” way by Unite general secretary Sharon Graham.
Graham told BBC Radio 4 Today’s programme: “Angela Rayner refuses to get involved, and she is directly aiding and abetting the fire-and-rehire of these bin workers, it is totally and utterly abhorrent.”
