And now the doctors are at it again, i thought Starmer had fixed this problem when he caved in to their last demands

Doctors and teachers in England and Wales were offered a 4% pay rise by the government, 2.8% above what it had originally budgeted and just above the current rate of inflation.

But both the British Medical Association (BMA) and National Education Union (NEU) threatened strike action following the announcement, claiming the increases did not account for historical pay freezes.

The BMA is calling for a salary increase of 29.2% to bring salaries back to "full pay restoration". The union argues this is the level at which pay has declined in real terms since 2008, when adjusting for inflation.
