Resident doctors reject Streeting's please and go ahead with strike

Junior doctors, let's make sure full pay restoration stays front and centre during this election.
We strike again with a 5 day full walkout from 7am on 27 June to 7am on 2 July.
Let's make this round of action our biggest and loudest yet! #DoctorsStrike https://t.co/iMjSqMgU1Y

✉️Post your ballot back TODAY.

Hamas is a terrorist organisation.
Israel is a terrorist state.
Responding to terror by targeting vulnerable patients and healthcare staff is indefensible. The world must hold Israel accountable for this act of terror & call for an immediate ceasefire.

5 years ago Milton Keynes was dubbed ‘tent city’ by the media. Today, no one needs to sleep rough on our streets. How did we do it? A thread by the Cabinet Member responsible 👇
@RMRoss_ She’s one of the most technically impressive pianists I’ve ever heard but there are others I’d rather hear with lesser technique, but with much more musicality & feeling :)
Nothing major, just the Home Secretary of the United Kingdom Suella Braverman looking for the UN to get rid of protections in the Refugee Convention for LGBTQ+ people fleeing persecution.
We can now announce that for the first time, junior doctors and consultants will be taking joint strike action in England.
Here are the dates for September and October #DoctorsStrike
Loads of stuff appearing about doctors being ideologically anti-tory and wanting to bring down the govt. Stuff like this:
But you see most medicine is ideological and a bit political.
I work in emergency medicine. I would love this government to go. Here’s why:
Today, we announce a 3rd round of industrial action from 14 – 17 June.
The Government’s 5% pay increase offer is an insult to junior doctors in England.
Visited a family who have been living in temporary accommodation in Newham since 2018.
The family of 7 all sleep in one room on blow-up beds and sofas because black mould has infested every single room upstairs and is terrifying their kids, who think their house is cursed.
