Shameful! It was incredibly sad to watch @East_Riding councillors vote to refuse planning for low-cost eco-friendly housing and additional biodiversity in Ottringham.
Fuck this take. We couldn’t have got through that first year without the people who sacrificed 20% of their salary and diligently stayed at home to protect others. All I want is to be paid fairly for the work I do. Doctors spouting shit like this need to shut the fuck up
2% is smaller than 11.7%
and not only that, but insulting and further evidence that this government has no actual interest in running a safe NHS service, if we needed any more evidence.
Join @TheBMA and be ready
Since 2008/9, real terms take home pay for a junior doctor in England is down 22.4%.
We're calling for a pay uplift of 15% this year to begin to close the gap.
Write to your MP for their support: junior doctors can’t go on like this #OverworkedUnderpaid

Heart breaking reading this. I've never personally known so many doctors take time off openly due to burn out. It's great that we are finally talking about it more as a profession, but what are we actually doing about it?
If you're a BMA member you will soon be receiving a voting pack.
We have seen a significant drop in real terms income in combination with escalating cost of living.
I’ll be using my votes to support candidates pushing for pay restoration.
Remember that time when people said they couldn’t comment on Palestine bombings because they didn’t know much about the geopolitics there. Those people are now experts in the Soviet Union. 🙃
