The majority of patients still don't agree with resident doctors' strike action.
The latest YouGov poll finds that a growing number of people are against the BMA's decision to choose industrial action.
@wesstreeting Smug Fat Bully Wes thinks his political ambitions and private health donors are more important than NHS doctors and patients.
Time we discharged him and sent him home.
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.
BREAKING: Greta Thunberg just eviscerated Trump for his comments about wiping out an entire civilization, dropping multiple F-bombs in the process.
"The President of the United States just said that a whole civilization will die tonight and never to be brought back again and no one is reacting. This speaks for itself, what the f--k is anyone even doing at this point? We have normalized genocide, total annihilation of entire people, the systematic destruction of the biosphere which we are all depending on to survive, and that corrupt racist war criminals can act with complete impunity. But even though we have allowed far too much so far, it is not too late to say 'stop!' If we don’t, we shouldn’t f--king be able to call ourselves human"
Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless.
This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism.
We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.
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!
@PeterStefanovi2 You should have avoided the strike then, Wes. That's YOUR job. Instead you thought you could dictate to doctors like some fat lord of the manor.
@DHSCgovuk@wesstreeting No Fat Wes. The standout winners of the public sector pay rise competition are by a country mile Westminster MPs who have had pay rise after pay rise. MPs never suffered from pay freezes.
Of course, restore NHS wages and your private healthcare friends won't like it.
"Resident doctors are, by a country mile, the standout winners of the entire public sector workforce when it comes to the pay rises they have received."
@WesStreeting makes clear everything the BMA Resident Doctors Committee have said no to.

This is how a Labour government treats doctors and the NHS customers? Contempt. Utter contempt. And Fat Wes wants to be PM?
@Philbeatles@RachelCDailey_@snowleopardess I'm with green flag and paid about £70 for the year I think?
Though that could be an NHS discount I'm not sure, I have a lil tool that grabs discount codes for me as well 😅
There’s no proof of any “blue badge misuse” + stats are from 2011. The AA comment is seemingly responding to being asked about fraud.
Yet all the papers are running with another reason to hate disabled people, coincidentally as motability and benefit cuts happen.
I’m so bored.
"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.

@jdpoc But John, the church is too busy to respond:
The former Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has told the BBC he failed to follow up abuse allegations within the Church of England because the scale of the problem was "absolutely overwhelming".
@DWPgovuk Why not create a system where people who work are paid enough not to need to claim benefits and where our tax doesn't go directly to propping up the profits of businesses who pay less than a living wage?
BBC and ITV news claiming too many people have a blue badge.
Then the BBC on about the two child cap being lifted and can we afford it?
The government needs to explain why with the amount of tax we pay? Why the hell can't we afford to support those in need?
Despite a year of warnings that strikes would harm patients, ministers have scrapped 1,000 desperately needed NHS training posts to punish doctors for taking industrial action
tribunemag.co.uk/2026/04/the-go…
We pay their wages, so MPs should pay their own bills. And we absolutely shouldn’t be paying for their energy bills in their second homes. The whole thing is a giant piss take.
1,000 training posts cancelled. 48-hour ultimatum. 0 walkouts stopped. The PM didn't save a single shift — just sacrificed a thousand resident doctors' futures to win a headline. That's not leadership. That's choosing politics over the NHS workforce. #r4today
Blackrock. Palantir. JP Morgan.
The NHS is being sold off to the highest bidder and privatised by stealth.
Billions for private investment schemes.
But somehow not enough to pay frontline staff properly.
The government will always prioritise big business over NHS workers.
