'There has to be rubbish collection and bin men job security' - Corbynpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 22 September 2017
Patrick Burns
Political editor, MidlandsThe Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says he’s confident the election of the new council leader in Birmingham will lead to a settlement of the long-running bin dispute.
The result of the election is expected at a meeting of the city’s ruling Labour group on Thursday evening.
Here's what he said when I asked him who he supports - the Labour administration in Birmingham or the trade union Unite.
Quote MessageI have spoken to Unite. I have spoken to the Labour MPs for Birmingham over the last few days. I am very pleased that we are now in a position following the resignation of John Clancy to elect a new leader. Hopefully now we will get a resolution to this dispute. There has to be rubbish collection. There has to be security of employment for the bin men. I want a settlement quickly."
Jeremy Corbyn, Labour leader
In an interview with me, Mr Corbyn also says Labour will win back the two local marginal seats it lost to the Conservatives in the General Election, Walsall North and Stoke South.
