The Spin

Right narrative

Union marches and picket lines are almost a constitutional requirement for a Conservative Party conference to take place, so this latest NHS stoppage doesn't come as a surprise. Yet, doctors should really ponder whether they feel comfortable causing harm to patients and being a political pawn of the Labour Party in its attempt to damage the Tories.

The Telegraph

Left narrative

Though Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government has outrageously condemned striking doctors and other health care workers for his own failure to appropriately capacitate health services in England and bring down all-time-high NHS waiting lists, Sunak's blame game hasn't persuaded the public. Ahead of the winter, the government must depart from empty words and solve the NHS's chronic underfunding.
