This is what the BMA says is in the new offer. The key thing here looks like the faster nodal point reform. So the average pay deal is the same but - apparently - doctors could move up the pay scale more quickly.

Resident doctors’ strike planned for Monday in england has been called off at the last minute after government makes new offer

[Jim Reed @jim_reed]

Government says the offer on the table for 2026/27 hasn’t changed - average 4.9% pay increase with 7.1% for the lowest paid.

@JHolzer2021 If I get to 95 years old I’m just eating those every night.

[Jim Reed @jim_reed]

Using this next time do a story about healthy eating (looks tremendous to be fair).

@mildthing99 That’s brilliant.

Just because I'm playing around with the charting package which BBC News uses, here's men's marathon world record times since 1908.

[Jim Reed @jim_reed]

@georgebernhard Yeah think that’s probably right. Plus before 1980s the way times were recorded (and more importantly distances) won’t have been as accurate anyway.

Another set of findings from Covid inquiry this week - this time on vaccines and the drugs used to treat the disease. So another weighty 275 page report to pick through - here’s a short summary for you with reaction from some of the groups most affected.

The Budget today confirmed that inheritance tax reliefs for infected blood compensation payments will be extended. The Minister for the Cabinet Office explains below what that means for you.

The full guidance can be found on https://t.co/oHPn7bUiDB: https://t.co/VLFEJTkhDZ

Reeves announces in budget that she will exempt compensation payments for the Infected Blood Scheme from inheritance tax "regardless of the circumstances in which those payments are passed down".

Baroness Hallett published her 800 page report into the big political decisions made in Covid this week. So we put together a 25 min wrap up with some reaction from the Today programme. https://t.co/81O2GLxpvr

[Jim Reed @jim_reed]

@skeuomorphology Yeah anecdotally there’s been a bit of a patch of it but not for a week or so.

[Jim Reed @jim_reed]

Mixed picture from latest UK data on viruses this afternoon. Half our office seems to have Covid at the moment but... some signs this wave has peaked. We are though continuing to see signs of possible early flu season with activity, particularly among kids, above baseline.

@elgoldave @BorisJohnson Yeah this one is being covered by the education unit (appreciate some of it is health related but get the idea). Vanessa is brilliant though. https://t.co/V1ctBeLiSD

[Jim Reed @jim_reed]

@CurvaWanderlust God that sounds terrible. There’s not enough support for people in that situation. Must be so tough.

[Jim Reed @jim_reed]

@plantypotter I have past over the reigns for this section to brill colleagues on the education team!
