Striking NHS doctors vote to continue action for another six months
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"An overwhelming 93.4 per cent of resident doctors in England have voted for further strike action, giving a clear mandate to continue pressuring the government on jobs and pay in 2026. The overall turnout was 52.54 per cent. Stay tuned for updates on our next steps. Dr Jack Fletcher, chair of the BMA's resident doctors committee, said: None of this needs to mean more strikes."
The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while keeping content free of paywalls. The outlet cites investigations such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and a documentary spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. NHS resident doctors in England voted to continue industrial action for six months, with 93.4% supporting further strikes and an overall turnout of roughly 52.5%. The BMA described the result as a clear mandate to pressure government on jobs and pay in 2026. BMA chair Dr Jack Fletcher said further strikes need not occur if a jobs package and a fair multi‑year pay offer are negotiated through goodwill.
