PM insists ‘door is always open’ when asked about NHS pay
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak insists that his and the health secretary's door is "always open to have those talks" when asked about pay for NHS workers.
He adds: "I'm really grateful to all our public sector workers, including those in the NHS.
The government is always wanting to talk to people about what we can do to make sure that their jobs are fulfilling and rewarding… we'd be happy to talk about all of those things." Report by Patelr.

Sir Keir Starmer has unveiled a pledge card with six "first steps" the Labour Party would take if it were to form a government after the next general election. The steps include measures to invest in the NHS, education and policing, to set up a new national energy company and an elite border force, and to promote economic stability. The move, unveiled during a campaign speech in Essex, is reminiscent of Tony Blair’s five pledges ahead of Labour’s landslide victory in 1997, and less favourably of Ed Miliband’s promises carved into stone in 2015.

The health secretary has responded to the findings in the birth trauma report, which found good care is “the exception rather than the rule”. Victoria Atkins said she "completely gets it", referencing her own experience giving birth in an NHS ward. "I've spoken about my own experiences about having a baby on the NHS. I want to shine a light on all of this and with this report, but also with my own personal commitment and I have prioritised women's health and maternity services as one of the priorities of this government," she said.

Opening Prime Minister’s Questions, the Labour leader said Rishi Sunak's focus should be on the "chaos" facing prisons. Sir Keir Starmer said: After 14 years of Tory government, the prison system is in chaos. Does the prime minister think that his decision to let prisoners out 70 days early, makes our country more secure?" Mr Sunak insisted that "there are strict eligibility criteria in place" to ensure there is no threat to public safety. Report by Covellm.
