The price of the pay deal offered to junior doctors is a “drop in the ocean” compared to the cost of strikes, Rachel Reeves has said.

The new offer for junior doctors in England is worth 22.3% on average over two years.

Asked how much it would cost to settle the junior doctors’ pay, the Chancellor told Times Radio: “It’s £350 million.”

Former Head of Energy UK Angela Knight joins Talk’s Mike Graham to discuss this further.

    Keep funding Ukraine, Africa and the illegals. Absolutely brilliant country.
  • @normanj1975
    Take off pensioners and give to illegals, that's Labour for you.
  • @robertsmith4520
    Why are we giving our hard earned money to all these terrorist countries and not to our own people.
  • @davidnoble1058
    If Rayner said the Tories are scum, what does that make Labour?
  • @johnwalker91
    Why haven't they means tested child allowance and cut the migrants benefits who have contributed nothing
  • Remember there'll be another election one day. By then there will be even more pensioners. You just lost their vote. This could be the last labour government ever.

    HOW ABOUT STOPPING THE MONEY, HOUSING, NHS TREATMENT ETC ETC TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
  • @edwardteach5917
    So they can't afford to keep pensioners warm in winter, but they can afford to pamper illegal immigrants. All hail Herr Starmer.
  • @amandascott809
    Most pensioners desperately need the winter fuel payments even if they aren't on pension credits. Shame on labour for this. !!!!
  • @bauer9101
    Foreign aid. Hotels. Foreign nationals in our prisons. Diversity officers. The list goes on. I could find the money in 5 minutes.
  • Pensioner's are always being told that the state pension is a benefit so why scrap the winter fuel payments ?
  • it is not a benefit it is a right for pensioners who have paid in all thier lives?
  • @caves7361
    Labour has always hated pensioners. Gordon Brown gave them a 75 p increase on the pension.
