@MarkVipond @Telegraph You must be a bot. Doctors care about their patients, far more than you care for anyone in your working life, but like anyone ask for money that is deserved. For the importance of the job, doctors have been massively underpaid. Banning strikes will only make them leave

@Telegraph She's absolutely right. Why enter a career in caring for people if you care more about money? The Conservative policy to ban doctors from striking seems to be the only way ahead.

The Conservative Party leader accused the British Medical Association (BMA) of “betraying the patients that its members swore to serve” 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/0…

@dinkypinkygirly @cjsnowdon Except wages hadn’t been going up, so no they did not know that and have been tipped off you miserable old bag

@cjsnowdon They cheese me off a treat. They know full well what they will be paid, and the way the wages will go up. They are happily putting people at risk.

Tell them that they’re going to be called junior doctors again. If that doesn’t work, start cutting their wages. Time to play hardball with these swine.

@wesstreeting You’ve spent your entire tenure collecting donations from private healthcare figures, all the while spreading misinformation and misleading stats to smear the public opinion of doctors. When it boils down to doctors vs corrupt politicians like yourself I know who to trust…

The BMA think their demands are more important than patients. Unsurprisingly, patients don't agree. Patients deserve better. The BMA must call off these strikes.

@djmclark @MiloKostusiak @DailyMirror Which is why it affects doctors so much. Can you read?!

@MiloKostusiak @DailyMirror …understood, but he didn’t say 60k! 85% of students never pay back the 60k at the start of his career he’ll be earning far less (my point) Of course anyone can take out a commercial loan and pay that off; but of course they’d never get one because there is no asset to secure

@DHSCgovuk @YouGov You’ve turned them against them you lizards

A @YouGov polls finds the majority of people are against strikes. Resident doctors would have found themselves 35.2% better off than four years ago, had the BMA accepted our offer.

@KentT1986 @jeremycorbyn Claiming a 30% pay rise makes strikes “rare” is nonsense. Real pay is still 20–25% below 2008 levels after inflation. Junior doctors work longer hours than almost any comparable public or private job, with far more responsibility and risk. They’re systematically underpaid.

@_JamieDS_ @jeremycorbyn Rare? 15 strike walkouts since 2023 in England and raise in wage across that period has been 30%.

Solidarity with doctors on strike today. They’re not asking for a pay rise. They’re asking for pay restoration after a decade of cuts. The government’s response? Take away vital training jobs, harming us all. Hardworking NHS staff will always have my full support!

@6times2019__ @narindertweets @LBC @NickFerrariLBC Because pay is simple and measurable. Career progression is messy, varies by specialty, and can’t be fixed in one deal so it’s not something you can strike on as easily. Fewer resident doctors are affected by this also, and are usually in the first couple years of their career

@_JamieDS_ @narindertweets @LBC @NickFerrariLBC It also reduces pensionable pay in the private sector And that's not true my wife works for NHS and pays less than i do on similar scheme. Totally agree about the training places and career progression. I'd back them if that's what it was over rather than pay.

"We could have built a few hospitals with that..." Strikes by resident doctors have cost £3 billion over the last few years. Wes Streeting tells @NickFerrariLBC what the money could have been spent on if the strikes had been prevented.

@6times2019__ @narindertweets @LBC @NickFerrariLBC private firms get similar deals and NHS salary sacrifice can reduce pensionable pay, which cancels out a lot of the benefit.It’s decent, not exceptional. Doctors pay is still the most eroded in the nhs. And no training places for career progression, hence strikes

@_JamieDS_ @narindertweets @LBC @NickFerrariLBC They got the big pay rise they deserved last year. Striking again now is a bad look. The EV scheme is one of the best due to the buyer power of the NHS. A regular private company would not get the same lease contracts. We do need doctors. The unions are just never happy.

@Conservatives You created this problem and now still want to take away rights. You scum will answer for this one day

Soldiers can’t strike. The police can’t strike. Neither should doctors. The next Conservative government will ban these strikes, for good.

@6times2019__ @narindertweets @LBC @NickFerrariLBC Pension is good EV scheme is standard, and can reduce pension. Study budget limited and hard to access. Childcare is patchy at best. No real extra overtime than the legal minimum Discounts are small We need doctors. They don’t need the nhs. They can leave or go into any field

@_JamieDS_ @narindertweets @LBC @NickFerrariLBC One of the best pension schemes in the country The best EV salary sacrifice scheme Study budget On site childcare Overtime enhanced pay NHS discounts (ie bluelight) Sickpay Much better than private sector

@dazzayoung0108 @TheBMA When you are sick/old and need treatment, I sincerely hope this ideology comes back to bite you.

@TheBMA Get back to work . No public support .You will always ask for more and more . Hope the government legally ban you from striking

Today, doctors across the country are out taking strike action. This dispute is driven by an entirely avoidable crisis on jobs and pay. Right now, resident doctors are facing a real terms pay cut and growing unemployment. They need jobs and fair pay for the work they do. No one wants to strike. But without a credible offer on the table, doctors are left with no alternative.

@6times2019__ @narindertweets @LBC @NickFerrariLBC Enlighten me with these so called benefits please

@narindertweets @LBC @NickFerrariLBC They get so many added benefits on top of their salary. Pay them even more someone else has to suffer. There's no magic money tree like you think there is.

@KentT1986 @jeremycorbyn Their whole job is with thought to the public. Striking gives them a rare chance to get back what they deserve

@jeremycorbyn Zero solidarity. Mindless, selfish agenda, zero thought to the public

@_6signxxx … and it was a shithole

Australia was 0% white in 1780.

@cochranereturns @DoctorsVoteUK You’re a fucking retard bot

@DoctorsVoteUK One minute the BMA argues medicine is an international market, the next they argue the only source of future NHS consultants and GPs, are UK trainees.

Training places have only increased between 0.5-1% over almost a decade. We continue to have one of the lowest doctor to patient ratios in the OECD.

@DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting @TheSun You’re a vermin Wes

"NOBODY wants strikes in our NHS. Every time junior doctors walk out, it's patients who feel the impact — and other NHS staff left picking up the pieces." @WesStreeting on how these strikes will mean delayed operations and families left waiting in pain.

@RationeSolum @Alison6123 @DrLukeCraddock It’s not called paying your debts. It’s called paying back more than double what you borrowed and terms of the loan being unilaterally changed (illegal for any other kind of loan). Do some research before you spout shite. Graduates have no issues with paying back what they owe

@_JamieDS_ @Alison6123 @DrLukeCraddock It’s called paying your debts. If you didn’t want the debt, don’t over extend your finances.

Another tax year done, another year my loan grows. Despite working more than full time as a doctor in my third year of practice my salary repayments don’t even cover the interest on my loan. What a farce of a system.

@Alison6123 @DrLukeCraddock Doesn’t care because she’s oblivious. She will be paying 9% of everything she earns over 27k for the rest of her working life if nothing changes. That will almost certainly end up being far more than 100k (which im guessing is more than she borrowed) and most likely closer to 200

@DrLukeCraddock Mentioned this to my youngest yesterday. Her debt is over £100k too. She doesn't care. Her repayments are taken out via PAYE, and she just carries on. It's all that can be done.
