  • Witnesses reported that the driver was seen driving erratically before crashing into pedestrians, leading to chaos as people screamed and ran for their lives.

Public Reaction

Concerns Over Doctor’s Industrial Action

Meanwhile, concerns are growing over potential industrial action by doctors in Britain. Reports indicate that they are planning to hold a ballot on six months of industrial action aimed at restoring real terms pay to 2008 levels.

  • Streeting’s Statement:

    • Patients are reportedly opposed to this move, especially following significant pay rises over the past ten months.
    • Streeting noted that many people do not understand how much GPs earn compared to other professions, stating, "People think being a GP must be very well paid because you’re helping people. But actually most GPs don’t even come close [to earning] what barristers or solicitors do."
  • Despite efforts to explain their salaries, Streeting continues to face opposition from certain groups regarding the justification for higher salaries for doctors:

    • "I’ve had lots of conversations where I’ve explained this stuff… But still there seems to be quite strong opposition among certain groups about why we should get higher salaries."
