@GBNEWS @markwhiteTV Keep talking tripe.

'We would ban resident doctors from striking. We need to get tough with these guys.' @MarkWhiteTV challenges Shadow Policing Minister Matt Vickers on the Conservative Party's handling of NHS strikes, as he criticises Labour's approach to negotiating with the BMA.

@medicalmodelbri You can always read Medicine at university....

What do we think ? Are PAs the clinical equivalent of a Swiss Army knife or a butter knife ? Are they a bargain compared to a resident Dr ?

@BBCr4today Just give in. Admit defeat. A road to pay restoration is all it takes.

"Look at the state of the public finances, look at the state of our public services.” The Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, urges the BMA resident doctors committee to stop strike action and accept the deal the government has offered.

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives yawwwn.

Labour have finally noticed the Plan 2 student loan problem (after we pushed it). But their cap isn’t enough. Graduates are still paying interest way above inflation. That’s the real problem. We’d scrap interest above RPI entirely. Fair and simple. Only @Conservatives have a New Deal For Young people and a plan to Get Britain Working Again💪

@ramonagusta @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives But then it would cost you more ??

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives Just sack them and move health to private systems.

Doctors are on strike today for the 15th time since 2023, costing us £3bn in the last 3 years. Starmer promised to sort it, even gave them a 28% pay rise...it didn't work. Time for serious action. The @Conservatives will ban doctors' strikes, like we do for the army and police.

We’ve been working on new doctor‑specific lanyards and badge holders in our BMA UKRDC workstream, because doctors should be clearly distinguished from PAs and ACPs. We’ll be handing out the first exclusive batch at the London picket at St Thomas’ tomorrow, 8am–12pm. Hope to see you there!

@JeremyVineOn5 @IsabelWebster_ Carol. Why are MPs giving themselves 5% but a real terms pay cut for Drs.

"I think they're holding the country and the NHS to ransom..." 📞 Carol says that the resident doctors who are striking should remember why they became doctors in the first place. @IsabelWebster_ | #JeremyVine

@RachelReevesMP @labourpress Drs pay falling.

Minimum wage rising 📈 State pension increasing 💷 Two child limit abolished 🏡 Child poverty falling 📉 Rights at work strengthened 💪🏻 Labour promised change. We are delivering change. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@SameenaAhmad7 @FurkanGozukara You need to be more clear. For anyone else reading this. They are fully qualified doctors with a degree in medicine. They don’t yet have the postgraduate qualification in a specialism which is what you get after years in specialty training.

@FurkanGozukara The doctors failing to get training numbers are qualified doctors but not "fully qualified ", otherwise they wouldn't be applying for a training number.

Absolute disaster for the NHS. An expert resident doctor exposes massive government incompetence. While 54,000 patients wait over 12 hours in A&E, the Prime Minister is actively cutting training jobs and turning away fully qualified doctors. Total system failure.

@SpeedySticks007 @SkyNews @KamaliMelbourne @DocShivSharma Not possible.

@SkyNews @KamaliMelbourne @DocShivSharma If junior Doctors don’t like NHS terms and conditions, go private. Simple as that.

'Do you accept that striking over this period is going to put undue pressure on the NHS?' - @KamaliMelbourne 'Strikes are temporary, but the pressure on the NHS is continuous, and if we don't do something, the damage will be permanent.' - @DocShivSharma

@DpcGem @TahaNasser_ @Dr_Done_ Yes. Band 4 nurses and above are time plus 60%

@GotechaMark @TahaNasser_ @Dr_Done_ Do nurses attract the enhancement?

Wes Streeting thinks that after 5 years training, with £100K debt, doctors shouldn't complain about their poverty-level salaries. Wes mistakenly says that many NHS workers are never paid as much as a day 1 doctor (on 50+hr weeks) - maybe he was referring to a part time cleaner?

@DpcGem @TahaNasser_ @Dr_Done_ 40 hrs per week at £38,831 is £18.66 per hr. Drs are not on the agenda for change contract so do not attract enhancements for bank holiday.

@GotechaMark @TahaNasser_ @Dr_Done_ Now do an entry level nurse who isnt on the standard hours 37.5 hours per week...

@DpcGem @TahaNasser_ @Dr_Done_ Hold on Dave. I’m trying to show you that a housekeeper earns more than a dr on a bank holiday.

@DpcGem @TahaNasser_ @Dr_Done_ They get 94% pay enhancement.

@DpcGem @TahaNasser_ @Dr_Done_ House keepers on band 1 get 12/hr.

@DpcGem @TahaNasser_ @Dr_Done_ Did you know. Drs are the least paid people working in a hospital on bank holiday. ?

@TahaNasser_ @Dr_Done_ There it is 😂 Do you think doctors are the only important role in the world? This is why doctors strikes have minimal support with the public now, you know, the ones who pay your wages 🤷‍♂️

@DpcGem @TahaNasser_ @Dr_Done_

@LBC @IainDale Shame you are on the wrong side of history.

‘They are a disgrace.’ @IainDale thinks the BMA it is ‘holding the NHS to ransom’ as more doctors' strikes are to go ahead.

@ginamilan_ @piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump Sorry. Did you guys capture Greenland in the end?

@piersmorgan @realDonaldTrump Shut your fucking British mouth. Newsflash: America isn’t the UK. We’ve got a leader with balls, not some weak-ass punk bitch like Starmer. Yawn. 🥱

This is embarrassing, Delete it, President ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ - unless you want everyone to think you’ve lost your marbles.
