The union voted in favour of the decision earlier today, accusing the Labour firebrand of backing a council that had “peddled lies”.

Serious discussions are now underway as Unite – one of the parties largest financial donors – considers its future with the Government.

It comes as the bin strike in Birmingham reaches the six month mark – with rubbish still piled high in the city’s streets.

Locals say their life has been made a misery by the foul smells in the UK’s second-largest city.

Bethany Campbell, 22, of Selly Oak, said: “The place stinks, it looks atrocious and residents just feel they are being forgotten about.

“Nobody should live like this in modern Britain.”

The Unite union began the strikes in January after pay cuts of up to £8,000.

Union boss Sharon Graham vowed to remain “relentless” to get a deal.

The council is running contingency arrangements and is still negotiating.

A representative from Birmingham City Council expressed: “The council acknowledges the considerable effect that industrial action has posed on Birmingham’s residents and neighborhoods and extends gratitude to every resident for their ongoing patience during these challenging times.”

“The council is grateful for the community groups who are working to clear waste and helping their fellow residents during this challenging time.

“The council remains committed to resolving the industrial action in the best interest of all parties involved.”
