Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, has issued a stark 48-hour ultimatum to junior doctors amid their ongoing strikes that are crippling the NHS. The ultimatum demands they accept a government pay offer or risk new laws compelling them to return to work. This escalates tensions after the BMA rejected the deal, with both sides digging in. It matters because prolonged strikes threaten patient care and could force the government into unprecedented action ahead of elections.
