"It is unprecedented. As a former trade union organiser, I've never heard anything like it" MPs debated the #BrumBinStrike on Wednesday, and @IanByrneMP gave his opinion on strike-breaking agency workers joining the strike themselves. It says a lot about the @BrumLabour leadership's mishandling of this dispute that they've provoked this unique turn of events. Ian is absolutely spot on in his summary of the strike here. If only his @UKLabour colleagues running @BhamCityCouncil would take notice and do the right thing for workers and #Birmingham residents - get back to negotiations.

. @SteveReedMP on your watch

*Breaking News* @BhamCityCouncil and @jobandtalent_hq threaten to blacklist bin workers! Unite has received a video showing a manager telling agency workers that they will not get jobs if they join picket lines. This appears to be an attempt to intimidate agency workers who are joining the bin strike in response to bullying. This appalling practice has a name – #blacklisting

10. Money doesn’t change who you are. It reveals it. Don’t confuse income with identity.

@PetesyCarroll Gone way past my expectations, Credit it to him. He just keeps on getting better and better.

Brilliant performance from Paddy Pimblett. There were many you thought he’d never get to the UFC, never mind being on the verge of title contention. Incredible showing.

@LCFC Was enjoying the break

FT Thoughts?

@SeanSheehanBA I’m glad it’s on the blink 😂😂

Pay thousands a year and this is how we see the Man United goal. What a joke Sky Sport + is. Completely not working.

Busted….but was a close fight

My picks…31/1… Rakic and Max both underdogs but got to be 50/50 fights…what’s everyone’s thoughts?? #UFC308

@SeanSheehanBA 1 each I reckon

19-19 for me but it may be 20-18 Ankalaev. #UFC308

@PetesyCarroll Think the last 15 seconds won Rnd 3 for lerone

Great fight, Lerone gets the nod on my card.
