Reform UK's leader Nigel Farage told BBC Radio WM's Ed James he believed his party had forced Birmingham City Council's ruling Labour group to release a statement saying there was a prospective end to Birmingham's bin strike saga.

The council's Labour leader John Cotton said on Monday an end to the action was "within sight", with a new offer to be put to striking workers.

Farage said it was "without a shadow of a doubt" down to his party pressurising Labour.

Councillor Cotton said the potential deal from the Labour ruling group was "good for the workforce" and claimed it represented good value for money.
