“Surely this life, the training, responsibility, debt and crushing workload is worth more than £19 per hour?” The BMA said junior doctors start on salaries of between £25,000 and £30,000, compared to an MP’s £86,584.

But they have had real-terms pay cut of 26.1% from 2008 to 2023.

Ipsos polling today shows 54% of the public back the strike, which will go on until Sunday.

I’d like to invite Ms Vine to my school & teach for a term, then we can discuss her concept of “hard-working taxpayers”. In 15 years as a teacher, I’ve never known morale to be so low. Is it normal to work 50-60 hrs p/w and suffer real-terms pay cuts?

It's not NHS workers, posties, railway staff, teachers, airline workers or any other worker's fault that the UK is in a disastrous state and a laughing stock around the world. It's the Tory party and their voters fault.

Support striking workers when we demand our worth after a decade of taking a kicking while bankers and oil companies get tax breaks, bonuses and VIP lanes.

@Molly Let's not forget that old chestnut of demonising striking workers for having the unmitigated gall to want to be able to feed their families, heat their homes and maybe afford a few small luxuries.
Never forget that it's the workers of the world who create the wealth, not the capitalists. We need to defend the right of working people to take industrial action to protect their pay and conditions.

The amount of people who are ignorant that are not just about pay but about levels of safety and quality of care for patients is mind blowing. It was the same with the tube-passenger safety was at risk. And lo people have been disadvantaged and put at risk . Same with the trains. Something had to give and it cannot be working people. .
