Just a third of resident doctors in England back strike action, a leaked poll has revealed as the group of medics begin a five-day walkout. The strike organised by the British Medical Association (BMA) — the union representing resident doctors, formerly known as junior doctors — will now last until 7am on Wednesday. Resident doctors are fighting for a further 26 per cent pay increase. During their first foundation year after finishing their medical degree, resident doctors in England earn a basic salary of £38,831. Earlier this year, a YouGov poll also found that 48 per cent of Britons oppose resident doctors going on strike, while 39 per cent support them taking action.

James McMurdock, an independent UK MP, raised an alarm on social media as he shared a doorcam footage of a person barging into his house.

The stranger, the MP said, was an Amazon delivery driver.In the video, the driver dressed in a black jacket rang the doorbell but then tried the door handle and pushed his way inside. "The footage is clear: the driver approaches the door, breathing heavily, he checks the handle, and pushes his way inside.
Lawsuit alleges ‘loyal penalty’Telecom giants deny wrongdoingBritain’s largest mobile network providers are facing a £3.2 billion ($4.29 billion) lawsuit for allegedly overcharging millions of loyal customers, after a London tribunal ruled on Friday (November 14) that a significant portion of the case can proceed to trial. Vodafone , BT's EE, Telefonica's O2 and Hutchison's Three UK – whose $19 billion merger with Vodafone was approved last year – are accused of imposing a “loyalty penalty” on customers who remained with their networks after minimum contract periods expired.The Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) certified that claims for losses from October 2015 onward can proceed to trial, while throwing out earlier claims as having been brought too late, according to a report by news agency Reuters.Lawyers representing British consumer champion Justin Gutmann allege the networks continued charging millions of customers for mobile devices that had already been paid off after their initial contracts ended. The practice effectively penalised loyal customers who chose not to switch providers once their minimum contract terms expired.“The networks charged millions of British consumers who remained with the network after their minimum contract expired a 'loyal penalty,' by continuing to charge for mobile devices which had already been paid off,” Gutmann's legal team argued.The mobile providers have contested the allegations, with their lawyers arguing the lawsuit is fundamentally flawed as it alleges anti-competitive behaviour “in an industry renowned for its competitiveness.”EE said that it does not accept the substantive allegations and intends to defend them robustly.“We do not accept the substantive allegations of the claim and intend to defend them robustly,” an EE spokesperson said.O2 welcomed the tribunal's decision to reduce the scope of the claim by excluding pre-October 2015 losses.“We maintain that there is no merit to Mr Gutmann's case for the remaining period and will continue to robustly defend our position as it proceeds,” an O2 spokesperson stated.
