SIR KEIR Starmer has urged striking bin workers to start negotiating as tons of rat-ridden rubbish pile up.
His challenge came as photos showed a major clean-up was needed to clear a car park in 24 hours in Birmingham.
The 50ft long, 6ft mound of festering mess had been dumped at Tyseley Community Centre.
Four bin lorries and a craned truck were brought in overnight to clear it.
