Birmingham City Council declared a major incident last week amid industrial action by Unite union members over pay, which has led to uncollected rubbish bags being stacked up on the city's streets.

He says that "anecdotal evidence" is stacking up that a significant portion of the 238 had no criminal records "not in Venezuela nor in the United States and much less in El Salvador".

The honours continue to stack up for the winning side.

"Intermittent renewables that only stack up on the back of buckets of taxpayer cash are not the answer when we need cheap, reliable and secure energy."

She added: "All these things are stacking up and there's a breaking point with everybody and particularly with small business owners."
