Ayoub Khan a pro-Gaza independent MP has hit out at Sir Keir Starmer over Birmingham’s bin strike.
He said that the Birmingham bin strike is part of a growing list of failures since Starmer won the general election and Labour has “failed the British public at every turn.”
On Monday Birmingham declared a major incident as more than 17,000 tonnes of rubbish is left piling up on the streets.
The Birmingham Perry Barr MP told Starmer, “This Labour Government has failed the British public at every turn. They have abandoned the Waspi women, leaving them without compensation they deserve.
“They have turned their backs on pensioners by failing to support the winter fuel allowance. They have let down children by keeping the two-child benefit cap in place, and they will inflict further hardship on the most vulnerable by slashing £5billion from benefits.
“But perhaps the most immediate and visible failure, one that poses an immediate and direct health risk to the people of Birmingham, is the appalling financial mismanagement of Labour-run Birmingham City Council.
“After more than a decade of Labour control, their incompetence has led to mountains of uncollected rubbish piling up on every street so far that it can be seen from satellites orbiting space.
“It is nothing short of a disgrace and a damning indictment of Labour’s inability to govern. Will the Prime Minister take urgent action to protect the public health and the people of Birmingham?”
the Prime Minister said: “I’ve said the situation in Birmingham Council is completely unacceptable but he might want to tell his constituents that we’ve delivered two million extra appointments for the NHS, so waiting lists are coming down for his constituents; we’ve delivered the national living wage, a £1,400 increase, including for his constituents; we’ve got record investment into this country, growing the economy, including for his constituents.”
