UK resident doctors begin strike

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has accused the striking medics of trying to 'fleece' the public with pay demands that could total £30 billion.

The British Medical Association (BMA) maintains that the strike is necessary to fight for the future of the health service and achieve fair compensation.

Thousands of appointments and surgeries have been cancelled, leaving patients to face increased waiting times and anxiety.

The public's patience is reportedly wearing thin as the long-running dispute shows no sign of a resolution.
