Wes Streeting confirmed that resident doctors have agreed to hold “talks to avert strike action”. The health secretary said that the Government has been “clear” that it will not open negotiations about this year’s pay. It comes as the British Medical Association (BMA) announced last week that resident doctors – formerly known as junior doctors – in England would walk out for five consecutive days from 7am on July 25 amid an ongoing pay dispute with the Government.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has called on resident doctors to abandon plans for strike action, calling it “unreasonable” and “unfair”. He said they’ve received a 28.9% pay rise – the best deal among NHS staff – and warned strikes would disrupt patient care and burden other workers. It comes as NHS waiting lists in England fall to their lowest level in over two years. Report by Covellm.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught on a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert with Kristin Cabot — the company’s Chief People Officer — and not his wife. The moment, captured on video and quickly spread across TikTok and X, has ignited a wave of online backlash. Social media users were quick to tag Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, who has since made subtle changes to her Facebook profile. With no official response from Astronomer and growing scrutiny over workplace ethics and executive behavior, the situation is quickly spiraling into a full-blown corporate crisis.
