Wes Streeting, Health Secretary, criticized Unite union over the bin strike in Birmingham, saying it's creating a public health problem with rubbish piling up and rats crawling around. The dispute has been ongoing for weeks, preventing refuse collection lorries from leaving the depot, resulting in tons of rubbish on streets. Streeting expressed concern about the unsanitary conditions and urged Unite to resolve the issue, emphasizing that industrial disputes are understandable but allowing such conditions is unacceptable.
