Doctors are fleeing the NHS. Every year, 20 000 doctors are leaving the profession prematurely - many because their pay no longer reflects the weight of the job. The real question isn’t whether we can afford to pay doctors. It’s whether we can afford the cost of losing them.

The sad irony being that full pay restoration for resident doctors would cost less than this. At just £1.3bn approx if you did it overnight. And to be clear, Resident Doctors aren’t even asking for it overnight. They’re happy to negotiate a journey via a multiyear deal. #WinWin

Utterly disgraceful remarks from Wes Streeting These doctors are the backbone of our NHS Their real pay is down 20% compared to 2008 It's time they were treated with the respect and dignity they deserve

Well this is awkward. Hypocrites attack Hippocrates. #LabourInNameOnly

📣 Five days of strike action starts today. These strikes could have been averted, if @Wesstreeting had a credible offer for us to consider. ✊ Find your nearest picket: bma.org.uk/rdpicketlines Stick Together. Strike Together. Win Together.

Solidarity with the BMA. The last thing they're doing is "undermining the Trade Union movement". They're resisting a race to the bottom. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

NEW: Wes Streeting has been slammed by several trade union general secretaries after claiming doctors' strikes undermine the trade union movement. 'Don't question the mandate of the doctors when your own constituents came within a whisker of removing you.'

I’m supporting The BMA Because trying to fix the NHS without improving pay & conditions for health/social care workers is like trying to refill a bath without the plug Recruitment, retention, burnout - this is the crisis Resident doctors deserve better. So does every patient

We can't afford to lose doctors. Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, said last year that resolving the doctor pay dispute is "a drop in the ocean" for the government. Paying doctors 22.67£/hr to keep them here is a no brainer.

Doctors are there in our most critical moments. They care. They heal. They don’t strike lightly. Junior doctors are asking for just £4 more an hour — many carry £100k+ in debt. The govt must negotiate in good faith with The BMA. Solidarity with striking doctors. #DoctorsStrike

LBC Iain Dale Thats nonsense. Campaign is squarely about pay. Zero political element to it. We would be striking with a labour govenrment, a Tory one, a Reform one, a Green one, a Mickey Mouse one, anyone who came into power if our pay was still 21% behind

A third of resident doctors are facing unemployment next month. We’re bringing the issue of insufficient training places and job insecurity into our ongoing #PayRestoration dispute with the Government. Read our statement in full: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

Love it when politicians suggest these great novel ideas like a deal over a number of years/ a “multi year pay round”

Yesterday we met with Wes Streeting We have agreed a window for negotiations and are working to ensure strike action does not need to be repeated. A credible offer to restore our pay and value can end this dispute. bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent… #PayRestoration

If you’re A level results are disappointing, don’t worry. I got straight A*s / As, went to medical school and started on £15/hour.
