There's no hypocrisy in the BMA's attitude to staff and members' pay Health Secretary Wes Streeting is bending the facts to the limit when he says the British Medical Association is being unfair to the government and its own employees.This Substack is reader-supported.

Is the BMA really being hypocritical on pay? Not quite. The comparison between its staff and doctors isn’t like-for-like—and argument doesn’t hold. #NHS #JuniorDoctors #UKPolitics #TheWhipLine #DoctorsStrike

I can’t see anything anywhere about the #juniordoctors strike in England. Is there a reason for this? Is it still going ahead?

The 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘀 will continue their planned 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 for six days from 𝟩𝘵𝘩 𝘈𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘭 - it will be their 𝟭𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁 since 2023!

If it looks like a Tory and acts like a Tory... Keir Starmer's tactic in attacking striking doctors The longer Keir Starmer’s nominally-Labour government stays in power, the more it looks like a continuation of the Conservatives who were there before.

Starmer’s NHS strike stance looks familiar. Waiting lists are rising, doctors are striking, and the government is edging to a Tory-style blame narrative. #NHS #UKPolitics #JuniorDoctors #TheWhipLine

#JustinWebb: “… #ResidentDictors - we used to call them #JuniorDoctors …”

#NickRobinson: “We hear from the leader of the Junior Doctors …”

“Later, we speak to correspondents in #Siam and #Yugoslavia, to the #Datsun motor company, and to #PrinceAndrew, running a #Snickers for charity”.

Resident doctors are striking over pay & blocked training posts. The media says they’re “putting patients at risk” — but the real risk is a system failing doctors and the NHS.

Will resident doctors' latest strike vote turn the public against them? Resident doctors in England have voted to go on strike yet again, in the next stage of their dispute with the government over pay and training.

Resident doctors will strike again over pay and training — but after 14 walkouts, is public support fraying, even though their case is still just?

The Secretary of State for DHSC made a fresh offer focused on non‑pay measures, No additional pay increase was offered. The BMA rejected this offer, meaning strike action is set to proceed.
