Wes Streeting tried to turn the public against doctors. But Labour voters aren’t buying it. They support drs taking action to move from £18.62/hr to £22.67/hr, a fair rate for the responsibility we carry. Wes can stop the strikes by restoring our pay. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Oops - the exams regulator has admitted to a data blunder that has massively inflated the number of pupils getting extra time over the past decade Ofqual says the real level is nearly half what it's been stating, and has pulled a decade of official data telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/1…

This headline is a lie. There are 400 fewer teachers than when The Labour Party came to office, and the lowest number of teachers entering the state sector since records began. Why are media outlets publishing this nonsense? yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/c…



Shaun Lintern I'm a consultant and was in this weekend keeping patients safe while residents are on strike. Good local planning, as we had, keeps patients safe without needing to request derogations. The BMA are not responsible for local management failures. Full support to the residents.
