GB News: Labour calls in ARMY to clear up Birmingham bin chaos as strike crisis reaches breaking point
Labour has called in the Army to assist with Birmingham's rubbish crisis, which has left over 17,000 tons of waste on the streets due to a month-long strike by bin workers. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has activated Military Aid to the Civil Authorities to provide logistical support.
Critics, including former Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, argue this reflects Labour's failure to govern effectively. The situation is described as a result of chronic mismanagement rather than an unforeseen emergency, raising concerns about public health and the role of the military in local governance.
