NHS strikes and the ‘complicated’ issue of teacher pay rises | Steve Barclay and Bridget Phillipson

Host Sophy Ridge interviews Health Secretary Steve Barclay, who has criticised junior doctors, accusing them of “walking away” from talks over pay and conditions.

For teachers, Labour’s shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson tells Sophy that giving teachers a pay rise is a “complicated issue”.

Joined by Claire Ellicott, deputy political editor of the Mail On Sunday, and show editor Scott Beasley, Sophy analyses those interviews and sets us up for the upcoming week in politics.
