Richard Madeley’s critique of striking junior doctors gets the treatment it deserves

The GMB host compared the strike action to a doctor refusing to help a patient face-to-face, which would be against their Hippocratic oath.

Junior doctors have entered a second day of strike action as the bitter dispute over pay shows no sign of being resolved.

Health Secretary Steve Barclay said the timing of the strike was “regrettable” and he accused the British Medical Association (BMA) of putting patients at “greater risk” after not agreeing any national exemptions for strike action for some services, such as cancer care.

The Government and the union appeared to be deadlocked after Downing Street insisted there will be no talks unless junior doctors abandon their starting position of a 35 per cent rise and call off the strikes.

It comes as hospital bosses expressed concern about keeping patients safe as they struggle to secure cover for overnight junior doctor shifts during strikes.

Discussing the issue on Good Morning Britain, Richard Madeley compared the strike action to junior doctors refusing to help a patient face-to-face, which would be against their Hippocratic oath.

Mercifully, the comments got the treatment they deserved:

Brilliant take down of Madeley with clear facts. The rhetoric that striking workers don’t care about their patients need to stop. pic.twitter.com/QSuZnD1gaK

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
