    Here's what he said when I asked him who he supports - the Labour administration in Birmingham or the trade union Unite.

    Quote Message

    I have spoken to Unite. I have spoken to the Labour MPs for Birmingham over the last few days. I am very pleased that we are now in a position following the resignation of John Clancy to elect a new leader. Hopefully now we will get a resolution to this dispute. There has to be rubbish collection. There has to be security of employment for the bin men. I want a settlement quickly."

    Jeremy Corbyn, Labour leader

    In an interview with me, Mr Corbyn also says Labour will win back the two local marginal seats it lost to the Conservatives in the General Election, Walsall North and Stoke South.

    Split in two by HS2 - a farm near Lichfield closes to the public this weekend after more than 90 years in business.

    BBC Local Live: Birmingham and the Black Country (8)

    John and Rosemary Barnes will close the gates of Packington Moor Farm as the high speed rail line gets set to cut right through their site.

    Three generations of farming will then come to an end for a family that labels HS2 "a vanity project" despite the compensation it's received.

    Today the farm closes its doors to the public, although weddings held at the site will continue until the end of the year as it fulfills commitments.
