It has come to this. This will cause major disruption. Junior doctors are essential for the function of the hospitals. I do hope the Government will listen #payrestoration #JuniorDoctorsStrike news.sky.com/story/junior-d…

Today a doctor on the picket line said to me: “MPs have had a 42.7% increase since 2008, Junior Doctors have had a 25% decrease since 2010. So let’s not have MPs saying that pay restoration for doctors is unaffordable. We have families to feed as well.” A fair point indeed.

In the last 30 years, the wealth of British billionaires has increased by over 1000%. Don’t let anyone tell you that pay restoration for NHS staff is unaffordable. Keeping workers poor is a political choice. Solidarity with all those fighting back!

In 2016 I looked after a girl who died during a transplant for HbE beta-thalassaemia. I am overwhelmingly pleased that we have been able to correct HbE with near 100% efficiency using base editors. nature.com/articles/s4146… Brilliant work from Mohsin Badat @Montytrench jdavieslab

Something to reflect on as an unprecedented 5-day strike by non-consultant grade doctors commences today. The NHS is special, and we must do all we can to protect it. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

So Sunak has told drs today's 6% pay offer is final saying: "No amount of strikes will change our decision" So that means strikes going on for months and months impacting hundreds of thousands of patients. His waiting lists target is also dead in the water #JuniorDoctorsStrike

#SaturdayKitchen is the absolute best thing on TV. So wholesome. Love it!!
