Junior doctors on £14-an-hour as poor pay revealed and Tories refuse to start talks The Daily Mirror says Junior doctors are being paid as little as £14 an hour to carry out vital operations, a campaign reveals. As medics today begin a four-day strike, The British Medical Association exposes the shocking truth about wages. It said: “Is this a fair price to provide patients with high-quality healthcare?” In a poll, most back the strikes. But the Tories still refuse to hold pay talks. The government has been accused of providing high quality health care on the cheap by doctors whose…
Tory ‘neglect’ blamed for 3.6m abandoned calls to NHS 111 in England The Guardian says Patients contacting NHS 111 in England are having to wait so long for medical help that they are abandoning millions of calls, with 3.6m ditched in the past 12 months, official figures reveal. The national helpline service is supposed to make it quicker and easier for patients to get the right advice or treatment they need, either for their physical or mental health. It is billed as being open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, analysis by the House of Commons Library,…
Nurses reject 5% pay deal and vote for all-out strike – with no exemptions for emergency care The Independent says Nurses have rejected the government’s pay offer and announced an all-out strike with all services affected for the first time in NHS history. A majority of Royal College of Nursing (RCN) members rejected the 5 per cent pay deal, by 54 per cent of the vote to 46 per cent, despite a recommendation from union leaders to accept it. In a bid to force the government’s hand, the union announced a round-the-clock walkout for 48 hours starting at 8pm on…
‘Don’t get ill!’: Public told to avoid ‘risky behaviour’ during junior doctors’ strike Daily Express says Patients will suffer as junior doctors strike for four days this week, NHS leaders warned. The public was told to avoid “risky behaviour” as levels of care available would be greatly reduced. Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, agreed the action posed risks to patient safety and called on the public to avoid “risky behaviour”. He warned: “These strikes are going to have a catastrophic impact on the capacity of the NHS to recover services [post-Covid]. “The health service has to meet…
Why does the British media keep undermining the NHS? Rewind a few years back and NHS and its workers were considered the heroes of the country. The then prime minister Boris Johnson even had us stood outside clapping the efforts of doctors, nurses and other medical professionals, who were working tirelessly through a grim and gruelling global health crisis. But with the pandemic in the dust, a distant memory in the rearview mirror, the media – who had lauded the NHS workers as our guardian angels through the darkest of times, is throwing those same people under the bus. The…

The most (and least) expensive travel destinations for 2023, revealed The Metro says Who doesn’t love a holiday? Whether it’s laying on a beach and soaking up the sun or exploring new cultures and world heritage sites, a trip abroad is good for the soul.

Awkward.
No wonder it’s such a difficult decade.
Justin Bieber had nothing but good things to say about Frank Ocean’s Coachella set in the California desert on Sunday (Picture: Getty)
Frank Ocean’s set at Coachella on Sunday might have been thrown into chaos, but Justin Bieber clearly had the time of his life.
Not only was the 35-year-old’s much-anticipated performance pulled from YouTube’s streaming schedule last minute, but Frank’s set also had to be reworked at the eleventh hour due to an injury.
Plenty of disgruntled Frank fans have since taken to social media to express their dismay, but Justin, 29, threw his weight behind the Pyramids singer on Tuesday and called his artistry ‘unmatched’.
Sharing a photo of Frank – real name Christopher Francis Ocean – onstage over the weekend, Justin wrote: ‘I was blown away by Frank Ocean’s Coachella performance. His artistry is simply unmatched, his style, his taste, his voice, his attention to detail.’
The Baby crooner added: ‘I was deeply moved. It made me want to keep going and get better as an artist. He continues to set the bar high and gave me a night I will never forget! Thanks Frank.’
Frank suffered a ‘serious ankle injury’ just days before taking to the stage, resulting in last-minute changes to his set.

The Grammy winner was involved in a bike accident, with sources telling Metro.co.uk that the incident occurred while he was at the festival rehearsing.
A close insider added that, while Frank wasn’t on stage when he was hurt, the mishap involved bikes used to roam around the Empire Polo Club grounds.
The injury was severe enough for doctors to advise the musician to change his production.

One of these changes involved the use of an ice rink, which was supposedly built for Frank’s set, TMZ claimed in further reports.
It’s also believed a casting director reached out to a bunch of Los Angeles-based hockey teams in March for an unspecified paid performance.
Once the skaters got to the audition, they claim they saw Frank in person.

Alas, the ice rink couldn’t be used, with the cast informed on Sunday that the routine had been axed.
But at least Justin had a ball.

Energy firms can force fit prepayment meters again Ofgem, the energy regulator, has announced new rules that require energy suppliers to give struggling customers more time to clear their debts before forcibly switching them to a prepayment metre. Under the updated code of conduct, customers over the age of 85 will be protected from forced instalments, and those with severe illnesses will be exempt from forced switching. The rules were introduced in response to an undercover investigation by The Times, which revealed that agents for British Gas were breaking into the homes of vulnerable customers. However, campaigners have argued that…
