The war of words over public sector pensions has turned into a row about how big today's strike's been.

The walkout was expected to be the largest in more than 30 years, but the prime minister's described it as a damp squib.

Up to two million workers ARE thought to have walked out over changes to their pensions - including more than seven thousand in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch - where dozens of local schools and libraries have been closed.

Bournemouth council says over 50% of the scheduled bin collections were made.
