[Unite has announced it has suspended
Angela Rayner from her membership
of the union, in an escalating row over
the long-running bin strikes in Birmingham.

The deputy prime minister has been
urging striking bin workers to accept
a deal to end the dispute tabled by
the Labour-run city council.

In an emergency motion at its
conference in Brighton,
the union said it would also re-examine its
relationship with Labour if the council makes
any of its members redundant.

Mountains of rubbish have been seen across
the city since bin collection workers
walked out in January,
with an all-out strike going on since March.]
