@misspaulalondon @LiamHalligan Hi Paula - this is what’s happened to junior pay vs CPI - ie completely trashed down over 26pc vs 2009

Private sector (and others in public sector) not so much

Can I take it @GBNEWS would be right behind pay restoration to CPI then?

[D @DS_19_87]

@misspaulalondon @goldstone_tony @LiamHalligan @GBNEWS Lol, she gave up after realising she was wrong. This girl needs to apologize!

[Dr Robert Laurenson @RobLaurensonD4P]

Rishi Sunak has paid more to cover the strikes than Full Pay Restoration.

@RishiSunak by your own logic, are you now fuelling inflation by spending more money than it would have cost to negotiate?

Why are you wasting money?
Why are you wasting time?
Do you hate Britain?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

This is simply not true, as @RishiSunak knows full well.

By Jan 2020, the NHS waiting list had ballooned to 4.4 million.

Before Covid.

Before strikes.

But *after* 10 years of brutal austerity budgets & NHS understaffing - a political choice to inflict pain on patients.

[Tom Dolphin🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ @thomasdolphin]

Don't worry about what Rishi says in his speech about doctors' strikes; he has an audience to please.

The BMA isn't going to be put off: our members deserve full pay restoration. The government has four weeks to come to the table (+/- ACAS) and @theBMA's door remains open.

Today on @BBCBreakfast: a woman waiting for 2 years for a shoulder replacement "cancelled because of the #DoctorsStrike"

Our strike action started in March this year. What caused the delays ahead of our strikes? 🤔
Understaffing.

#PayRestoration is for patients as well as drs.

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

RISHI’S fishy MATHS

50 refurbed schools = 4
40 new hospitals = 5
2000 more GPs = 2200 fewer
5000 beds = 900 maybe
800 ambulances = 51
20000 more police = 0

5% pay rise when inflation 10% = 5% pay cut

Reducing inflation = prices still rise🤷🏻‍♂️

Bad at MATHS, INCOMPETENT or LIARS

In addition to her ‘pro rata’ consultant salary of £21,192 & CEA of £2,530.58, last year Dr Johnson received £86,584 as an MP & claimed £166,342.42 in expenses.

Her most junior medical colleagues earn £14 per hour.

Have you asked them @drcarolinej if they can afford to strike?

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention.

At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem.

Let’s dig deeper:

Read this and never even think of voting for the charlatans who have reduced the NHS to this desperate state … My reasons for striking. - Lucy Gossage https://t.co/N8Fqa7yery

[lucy gossage @lucygoss]

I’m an oncologist and I love my job. But I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing our patients with cancer and I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing its workforce. https://t.co/Liv26cn8Or #ConsultantsStrike

[Mamas A. Mamas @mmamas1973]

1. Tomorrow i will be supporting the NHS #ConsultantsStrike
About Me:
➡️ I am a cardiology consultant / professor @UHNM_NHS
➡️ i was from a working class background, i went to a state comprehensive. My dad left school at 16, mum at 12. I am the first / only member of my family to receive a higher education. I received a student grant to go to @UniofOxford. I left med school with little debt.

I could not afford to train as a doctor now.

"We spend below average on our health service compared to our peers, so its not surprising that we have fewer hospital beds, doctors, nurses, MRI/CT scanners. To a certain extent, you get what you pay for."

[Roshana 🦴 @RoshanaMN]

Man DESPERATE to look like he’s doing something useful as doctors and consultants strike this week

We asked for 26%
We rejected 5%
Scotland got offered 17.5%

We ain’t accepting 6%

Stop the Vacuous Nonsense @RishiSunak

[D @DS_19_87]

@DaveWell4 @BMA_JuniorDocs @_VivekTrivedi Blood on the government's hand actually....why would doctors stay if they can get paid double in aus, NZ, Canada and triple in USA...

[Jonathan @jabberwock951]

Your GMC fees are the equivalent of paying for Netflix, Disney Plus, Spotify AND Amazon Prime all together.

Indemnity adds a cheap gym membership.

Every exam is the cost of a holiday.

This is meant to be OUR disposable income. This is not fair.

[Jonathan @jabberwock951]

£433/year GMC fees is ridiculous.

At £36 a month it's more than my water bill, my phone or my internet. I could get my whole family a gym membership for less. It's not a small, unnoticeable cost for doctors.
