“Surely this life, the training, responsibility, debt and crushing workload is worth more than £19 per hour?” The BMA said junior doctors start on salaries of between £25,000 and £30,000, compared to an MP’s £86,584.

But they have had real-terms pay cut of 26.1% from 2008 to 2023.

Ipsos polling today shows 54% of the public back the strike, which will go on until Sunday.

Last week the UK government has admitted that it has burnt one billion pounds worth of unusable PPE from the pandemic.

This week they're saying the #BMA are not negotiating like "grownups" for asking for #PayRestoration in line with inflation for #NHS England #JuniorDoctors

There's a really clear direction in most media against the #Striking #JuniorDoctors

We've lost our #NHS and many excellent staff, but still the media want to promote the government nonsense.

Last week the govt admitted they had to burn £1 billion worth of unusable PPE but they can't afford to pay NHS staff a decent wage.

The NHS has been destroyed, there is no longer free healthcare for all.

We are paying with our lives.

The rates of people off work for to sickness is growing, this is harming our economy.

We're suffering an exodus of brilliant, experienced, and devoted staff

I’ve voted ✔️ for industrial action with the BMA. The absolute state of things that it is needed to let our failing overlords know fair pay & properly resourced #NHS services aren’t optional! #EnoughIsEnough #OverworkedUnderpaid #MedMastodon #MondayThoughts #BMADoctorsVoteYes

When my BMA ballot arrives today I'm voting for industrial action.

Our pay has been decimated & we now have a huge NHS workforce shortage. Without fair pay this will get worse.

We're the 6th richest country in the 🌍, we can afford to pay a fair wage.

Sold my AirPods and will get paid for them tomorrow morning. That leaves me $50 short for my bill. Meanwhile - I still need to come up with $900 roughly between now and the first to pay my car registration renewal fee, health insurance renewal and December payment, a $200 PayPal negative balance I got from using their debit card connected to my bank to deal with other bills, and my negative $500 bank balance that will cause my account to be closed on me if not dealt with by the 10th of January. Yay.
