Junior doctors offered 22% pay rise by government to end strike action

Nonsense. The unions fund the Labour Party. This was a done deal many months ago.

People who actually need pay rises cant afford to go on strike.

Let’s hope they can do a five day week now, AND arrange cover at the weekends, so we can actually see a doctor!

Is that so they can pay for their NHS car park tickets?

Where are they going to find the money to pay the junior doctors? Where have they been finding the money for the year-on-year pay rise for Members of Parliament? When was the last time an MPs pay rise was frozen?

And everybody else, on minimum wage, has no chance of holding the country to ransom.

The country is broke, we are 2.6 trillion in debt and we're paying 90 billion a year to service that. Last year we added 120 billion to the national debt. If this was personal credit card debt you'd have been told to stop spending and cut up your cards immediately. Costs for everything in this country are ridiculous, medical care in countries like Thailand(which has better medical care than the UK, that's a fact) is many times cheaper. Before anyone says that the NHS is free to use, it's not we all pay for it in taxes and borrowing. The cost of living in this country has gotten completely out of control and the government can't seem to stop it.

Lucky junior doctors getting 22%! Most of us have had nothing or barely a couple of % annual increase for years and years!

if my job isnt considered essential enough for a 22 percent pay rise like this then why did i have to work during the pandemic? if my job is so unessential

A 20 billion black hole but lets give a 22% pay rise

Why should it be backdated when theyve not worked & ppls lost there lifes & got much more worse waiting for hospital appointments

Wheres my pay rise ,my wife just been made redundant ,because the firm couldn't afford the national min wage rise, so had to let so many go , where's our help ,I haven't had a pay rise in 3yrs , this country is a mess .

Does that mean they will actually be doing face to face appointments now? all ive seen in the last three years are text messages from nurses lol.

We all have the same bills to pay, we could all say our pay has not kept up with inflation,

Tax and spend. We're starting to see the spending and soon the taxing will come...

I have yet to see satisfactory service from any medical branch

I guess engineers should counter for producing medical equipment right?

Dont put my tax up to pay for it

Certain people are integral to society, need to be rewarded for their contribution their pay should always reflect this. Anyone in the helping profession including fire fighters, teachers, the mental health profession and so on.

where's everyone else's pay rise then?? unbelievable utterly unbelievable, watch the queue from now form the unions.
