Unite suspends Rayner's membership over bin row

DEPUTY Prime Minister Angela Rayner has been suspended from membership of Unite over the Government's handling of the Birmingham bin strikes, the union said following a vote of its membership.

And in a sign of a growing divide between the union and Labour, Unite also voted to “reexamine its relationship” with the party.

The move comes after Unite members debated a motion at their conference in Brighton, where they condemned the Labour-run council in Birmingham, and the Government, for their approach to the bin workers.
