Would you accept being paid far less in real terms than you were 20 years ago? Research reported by Metro found that doctors had the biggest fall in pay after accounting for rising prices, out of 158 occupations studied. Now the Government is proposing a 2.4% pay uplift for 2027/28. The BMA says that would mean another cut once inflation is taken into account. People across the country know how frustrating it is to work hard and find that your wages cover less each year. Doctors face those same rising bills. We think this is wrong. Years of lost pay are being treated as something we should simply accept. A higher number on a payslip does not mean you are better off when prices have risen faster. We are asking to recover the value our pay has lost. That is what pay restoration means. Whatever you do for a living, fair pay is something we can all stand behind. metro.co.uk/2026/10/20/brita…
