@SteveBarclay @unisontheunion I’m hoping your usual strategy of divide and rule won’t work.

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@SteveBarclay @unisontheunion I’m not sure that them accepting this demonstrates your deal as fair.

@LanceForman @HelenRSalisbury Pensions for Consultants have been eroded as have pay. Pay for consultants has gone down by 34% relatively.

@SocialistNHS @Doctors_Vote 💙totally. After sacrifice during Covid the government needs to match claps with cash

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@TheBMA @DHSCgovuk @DrPhilBanfield Well done. That you for sending the letter.

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@BBCBreaking That is crazy to settle for such a pathetic pay rise. To believe the government saying they will take it off the table and give a worse settlement if rejected is just dumb. Of course they would say that wouldnt they??? I really hope that the doctors @TheBMA arent so stupid

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@rishisunak the @dailyexpress reported that you said greater competition in the NHS with greater private sector involvement was beneficial. It is not. It sucks money into shareholders pockets and is race for bottom in terms of quality. This mad logic is what has led to Dr strikes

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@JonnyGucks @SteveBarclay @BMA_JuniorDocs @Daily_Express @ShaunLintern Kicking can down the road and hoping a more interesting news story comes their way to avert attention. Isn’t that the normal #conservative way?

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@SteveBarclay @BMA_JuniorDocs @Daily_Express If you respect them then why arent you in talks with them? You need to explain why you think their demands are unreasonable. Saying there is no money and that it will cause rampant inflation is just not true. No one believes it.

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@Telegraph I imagine @Telegraph [if your numbers are correct rather than massaged (and this doesn’t prove causation) ] that this is exactly why you don’t want junior doctors to leave medicine and want to pay them an adequate amount for risk/ emotional work to ensure retention.

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@ShazBMA @TheBMA @SheffieldHosp @BMA_JuniorDocs @DrElleMorris Yay northern general juniors 👏🏻

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@Doctors_Vote Sounds like more reason to value junior doctors?

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@RichardNeilso15 @doctor_oxford Do t be silly. Doctors have to pay for their own education nowadays and are in debt into their 40’s as a result. You are suggesting a form of slavery.

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@BMA_JuniorDocs @TheBMA @SteveBarclay @RobLaurensonD4P @_VivekTrivedi I suggest setting the next lot of dates. Around the coronation?

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@soniasodha Nothing surprises me anymore about NHSE

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@BBCBreaking @DHSCgovuk telling porkie pies?

@BMA_JuniorDocs @Doctors_Vote @_VivekTrivedi Keep going. I know you are prepared for the negative media coverage. Stay focussed on the goal to recover lost pay, keeping motivated doctors in the NHS and thus make NHS care safe for patients again.

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@BrennanSurgeon @PHU_NHS Thank you 👍

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

I support the junior doctors strike @TheBMA #PayRestorationNow

[victoria cleak @vickycleak]

@Fothers_Minor @my_magnets @wesstreeting Except doctors have had either a pay freeze or a sub inflation pay ruse for the last 20 years!!!! B
