Nothing junior about leading an arrest team. Nothing junior about looking after the entire hospital overnight. Nothing junior about deliviring life-saving treatment. This is a welcome change, part of the cultural shift towards greater respect towards the profession.

As @fletchjack says, doctors want a reasonable deal over a number of years aka a “journey” For the record re: 28.9% doctors have received - it’s over 3 years - @wesstreeting unequivocally did NOT award us it himself - inflation still occurred in that time so real terms was less

@peterpalmer901 @sophia_edw28123 During the period when Streeting says residents got 28% and consultants 24% the average worker got 21.5%. And just look at the delta on the graph since austerity. 1/2

"The Government’s latest offer fails to address the medical jobs crisis and does nothing to stem the exodus of medics from this country." The health secretary must start treating doctors with respect, as @fletchjack writes in the @guardian 📢👇

dr trivedi was one of the exact ‘juvenile delinquents’ and ‘moaning minnie’s’ that *literally* saved my life when i presented with acute appendicitis out of hours. doctors deserve better than the contempt they’ve had from so-called labour minister @wesstreeting

It's irresponsible for the government to continue to let doctors remain unemployed and waste taxpayers' money by driving out the doctors we train up to other countries. The government has completely mismanaged the healthcare system and are failing both doctors and patients.

Wes Streeting thought he could separate doctors from the BMA. Resident doctors have been clear: doctors *are* the BMA. The rejection of his offer shows doctors see through political spin. The Government should be clear; we are not going anywhere. See you on the picket lines!

Frontline doctors have spoken unequivocally. Strikes are not inevitable. I will make myself available at any time to negotiate a credible deal - right up until 0659 on Wednesday. Let’s turn down the Government rhetoric, get negotiating and get to a deal to settle this dispute.

The @BMAResidents have been branded juvenile delinquents, moaning Minnie’s, out of touch with our grassroots With an overwhelming 83% no vote on an 65% turnout these claims are put to bed for good @wesstreeting the ball is in your court

The Government just doesn't get it. The BMA is representative of its members. Despite all the intrusive emails from NHS leaders harassing doctors to accept the offer, doctors have made it clear BOTH pay and jobs must be fixed. 22.50£/hr for a doctor is a bargain.

Strikes will GO AHEAD from 17-22 December, after resident doctors in England voted overwhelmingly to reject the latest offer from @wesstreeting.

£26.40/ hr for a decorator, who has skills I don’t have. Very grateful for their help with something I’m not so good at. Here is the job, the person, the cost. Resident doctors are under-valued & over-worked for their expertise in saving lives. Political choice to afford or not.

Mr @Wesstreeting and others say doctors' strikes cause patient harm but they conveniently forget to mention the following: 1. Over 13 million (around 9%) outpatients appointments were cancelled by hospitals (NHS Digital). 2. In 2024, 16,600 excess deaths were linked to long A&E

100%- we are having NHS business continuity incidents in August now which used to be the quietest time of the year

Dr Shivan Sharma calls out Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer's incompetence over flu cases and the strikes @DocShivSharma #C4News "Emergency care will be covered by consultants" "The NHS is under pressure all year long" "The 'winter crisis' is now a perpetual all year round

There is no right time to strike. The winter crisis is now a perpetual crisis. The real threat to patient safety is chronic understaffing and underfunding of our healthcare system. If we want to fix the NHS and deliver the care patients deserve, we must fix retention of staff.

“Do you think lives will be lost because of strike action?” “I don't” @bbcpaddy asks the BMA's Dr Callum Parr about the potential impacts of next week's planned strike by resident doctors in England. #Newsnight

I think it's irresponsible for the government to call experienced doctors "moaning minnies" and "juvenile delinquents." It's concerning that the gov's approach to resolving the dispute is essentially bullying tactics and propaganda, rather than engaging with ALL key issues.

“There is no net increase in the number of jobs available for doctors.” Deputy co-chair Arjan Singh talks ⁦@NickFerrariLBC⁩ through the ‘confusing’ details of the government’s latest offer on ⁦@LBC⁩ this morning. Listen here:

Your strike action works. That’s why we must extend our mandate and keep the pressure on the Government to fix the jobs crisis and restore our pay. Our re-ballot is open to ALL resident doctors in England. Vote YES and return your ballot by 26 January. https://t.co/NPGqVRIGOC

Last year, more than 4,000 doctors left to practise abroad; the highest number in ten years. And it isn’t a mystery why. England now has a doctor unemployment crisis. 30,000 doctors for 10,000 training jobs this year. Without a training post, you can’t become a GP or a
