It's borderline sub-inflationary, is not actually a 'new' 'last minute' offer at all - it is a recycled previously rejected offer that the RDC chair went to the exec to put out today immediately after the RDC voted to censure him for wasting strike mandate and collaborating with the government. There was no new contact and last-mintue offer.

This 'offer' (which contains no actual real-terms pay rise, as the DoH and Health Secretary are banging on about) already existed, and is bad. It is being put forward as an act of spite because his position was imperilled and, frankly, he is sympathetic tot he government.

There is a lot of politicking going on int he BMA, but essentially this is about the RDC chair selling out residents in order to try and preserve his profession. In many ways, a perfect mirror of Keir Starmer's current behaviour.

Been away for a few days from the world of Medical Politics

Let me try to summarise:

1. @TheBMA sacrificed IMGs as a policy choice and ensured local grads got jobs.
738 IMGs were put on a reserve list without any forewarning
Most shrugged their shoulders as "tough but isnt life that. Plus foreigners-meh"
Reddit accounts said IMGs were useless- in fact- absolutely useless.

2. @wesstreeting hoped this would help with negotiations
Didn't- BMA called strikes
IMGs are wondering 'why strike' if no jobs anyway
BMA then said 'all doctors are equal' and IMGs should support strikes.
Mr. Streeting then said 'No more new training posts'
IMGs in the LED posts-which were due to be converted- now don't know whether they have had a termination of contract or not.
@NHSEngland nearly admitted LEDs were better value as didnt need training and thus less costly

3. In the interim, problems surfaced about ANP/ACP regards patient safety-similar to PAs
And @gmcuk said 'Anyone can be a specialist' and continued their march to be a super-regulator.

4. The Royal Colleges continued cosplaying as ostriches. To an art form.

And the circle of life continued.

What have I missed?

Ah- sorry- I nearly forgot

5. GPs- via @BMA_GP pretty much did a no-confidence vote in their national leaders in @NHSEngland

Just a few days in the madness of the #NHS

(NB: No criticism of anyone here- just a narrative. Before anyone jumps in with angst & anger)

[Dr Sandeep Bansal @iDrSunny]

So Wes is in favour of using non doctors as doctors for you all

But when it’s an international medical graduate or a person of colour but a doctor - thinks it’s mad that they are treating you

It’s not the conservatives - it’s Labour too that are the problem

Won’t somebody just shake poor ol’ Stokesy’s hand?

Think that looks a bit naff from England. India have batted for close to two days to save the Test then at the first possible opportunity England look to bail out.

A Trust in the U.K. tonight, without any strikes taking place.

Difficult to know where Test cricket would be now if not for Virat Kohli’s relentless advocacy and commitment. A champion captain, and through his long peak an extraordinary player.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Sky News has found social media accounts that posted videos at the site of an Indian strike expressing support for a terror group linked to al Qaeda.

Sky's @Chesh reports.

This forced india-israel pakistan-palestine narrative to win internet sympathy is so disgusting. Neither India nor Pakistan is oppressed, both have armed forces and nuclear power. Your country is nurturing terrorists against India and your military officers attend their funerals

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

I usually air my strongest non-footballing opinions elsewhere, but this is the biggest platform I have, and some things just need to be said.

Rarely am I left speechless, but I find myself struggling to even begin, because no collection of words could even begin to capture the magnitude of horror, cruelty, and sheer atrocity of what’s going on in Gaza.

The fact that this is openly taking place in the 21st century is a grotesque reminder that despite all our supposed progress, we remain complicit in allowing the darkest corners of cruelty to thrive unchecked.

To say I’m disgusted would be the understatement of my life.

Aman Sehrawat wins bronze in the men's 57kg category at the Olympics. He beats Darian Cruz of Puerto Rico 13-5 in the medal playoff.

Aman is the 5th Olympic medallist from Chhatrasal akhara which is to Indian wrestling what La Massia is to football.

For Aman though Chhatrasal isn't just a finishing school. It's home. Orphaned at 11, he was left here by his uncle. He's never left. Now he will be part of it's hall of heroes.

[jonny is fed up with Yank Nonsense @sensiblehuman96]

Really feel for the people of Southport who are dealing with the most horrendous, traumatic event in living memory and now have to contend with a bunch of bused-in coke heads who have decided to start a race riot.
