MAGA has tried everything to stop this ad from being aired.

Please spare a thought for those of us carers working 12 hour shifts on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day who won’t be spending it with our own friends and family, but will be doing everything we can to make the day as special as possible for yours.

Wes Streeting calls them "moaning minnies" and says they're acting like "juvenile delinquents."

How about the Prime Minister condemns his Health Secretaries comments and gives people the pay they deserve?

Otherwise this looks a lot like performative nonsense....

Resident Doctors are incredibly undervalued

Their request for pay restoration is a bargain!

⭐️Confidentiality in GP waiting room⭐️
-After a distressing event elsewhere (below) we had to act
-We made a sharable sign (below)& informed our patients
-Anyone can print the PDF & ask if their surgery would use it
⭐️Nobody should have to disclose something private, in public⭐️

[Mike Henley 🤨 @trentconsultant]

Looks like Wes Streeting, Kier Starmer & the whole DHSC media spin team are bang to rights here by JVT. Currently no super flu & no NHS wide crisis. A lot of apologies needed from those players and the media in general. As we’ve said, even if it became a problem we’d use derogation.

[DoctorsVote @DoctorsVoteUK]

You called your negotiating partners and employees, juvenile delinquents on national television.

You've not offered a single penny in headline pay in a pay dispute.

Do you have any clue what you're doing, or are you hoping 30,000 doctors will shut up and go away.

The public are purposefully misinformed by UK media:

1. Superflu that doesn’t exist and is trending down.

2. Labour haven’t given 28.9% pay (£4-8/h), they’ve only given 4%.

3. Doctors can end up getting pay progression - but there is no automatic progression and this is far from guaranteed. Many doctors are stuck at dead end jobs or worse, unemployed.

4. We are competing against the entire world for jobs, with more international applicants than national. 42% of the UK doctor workforce are internationals today.

5. Doctors pay is still below pre-pandemic levels in real terms. That’s right, doctors died and get paid less for bailing out the UK.

6. Assistants are paid >30% than doctors. That’s more than full pay restoration!

@itvnews Hardly breaking news is it?

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Add it up…

You wait 12 hours in A&E to see a doctor

You wait six months to see a specialist doctor…

You wait a year to get your operation by a doctor

Yet, hundreds of British trained, qualified doctors can’t get a job!!!!

It doesn’t add up, does it?

[ExplosiveEnema @ExplosiveEnema2]

Wes has conceded that Streeting's Strikes this week would cause £¼ billion

Alongside previous strikes, that money could have paid for 3yrs of pay restoration

@wesstreeting has chosen to waste a colossal amount of taxpayer money, all because of his ego

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Comparing MPs pay with Doctors.

Isn't it amazing, austerity for everyone except Billionaires and MPs.

What a coincidence.

Woman is going viral after claiming that people have been wearing fur hoods incorrectly by not folding them inward.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

I will just point out the Doctors have asked for a maximum of £800m, that's for 71,000 doctors who run all the hospitals.

That's 'too expensive'.

But when the Water Companies asked for £5bn, they were given it.

Broken Britain, money for thieves, no money for you.
