We have to keep correcting this now. The infrastructure doesn't exist to double medical school places, and even if it did, that means more doctors in 2030, more GPs 2035, more consultants around 2040. We need to retain the ones we have if there's to be a hope of seeing them.

For the unfamiliar, doctors 'working in general practice' is very much not the same as 'fully trained GPs' - as ever trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the public

Letter to the fans.

We won’t give up until junior doctors are fairly paid. On 13 July, we will stage a 5 day strike, the longest single walkout by doctors in the NHS’s history.

Thank you, Perth. You are massive. ⚒️🇦🇺

"The competition ratio for General Practice ST1 training posts in 2023 was 2.67:1. 10,514 applications were made for 3,935 posts." If we want to tackle the crisis in GP numbers. We should allow the qualified doctors who want to train to be GPs, to be GPs.

The Government says we walked away from talks  - but it was them who walked away.   Ministers can’t even explain why they won’t talk to us while strikes are planned, like they did with barristers.   Come back to the table with a credible offer and we can end this now.

Junior doctors, let's make sure full pay restoration stays front and centre during this election. We strike again with a 5 day full walkout from 7am on 27 June to 7am on 2 July. Let's make this round of action our biggest and loudest yet! #DoctorsStrike bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

We've not asked for pay restoration in one go and it's misleading to say the cost of pay restoration would be £3bn – that assumes Junior Doctors pay no tax. In reality the cost to Government would be £1.3bn, less than half of the cost to the NHS of the strikes to date.

The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral. I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until
