Indeed.

Curiously, some people on the social media have focused more on the state of Victoria Atkins’s hair than on anything she was saying. It’s odd because both were dire.

For a full report, feel free to visit this:

The gist is:

The union leading the strikes, the British Medical Association (BMA), defines junior doctors as “qualified doctors in clinical training”, who have completed a medical degree and foundation training.

They can have up to eight years’ experience working as a doctor in hospital, depending on their speciality, and up to three years in general practice.

So they’re fully-qualified but just building experience. And Atkins poured fuel onto the fire of their protest – they’re striking for better pay, remember – by claiming otherwise:

This is not the first time Victoria Atkins has lowered her own reputation, and that of her government.

One would have expected Rishi Sunak to have found somebody more competent.

Except – of course, There are only incompetents in the Parliamentary Conservative Party.
