✊Our members at @TheBMA are back out on the picket line and they won’t back down.
They’re striking for a better pay deal for themselves and their colleagues. It’s time for BMA management to listen & put an improved offer on the table.
Enough is enough. No more pay erosion.

BMA staff are asking all @TheBMA representatives to not cross any of our @GMBLondonRegion picket lines
On 30th April a virtual event has been arranged for LNC Chairs as a result of LNC Chairs Conference being cancelled
Attending this would still be crossing a picket line 1/
🚨UPDATE ON FURTHER @GMBLondonRegion STRIKE DATES
@TheBMA staff are taking strike action on 30th April & 2nd May 2026 - coinciding with LNC Chairs & Med Students Conferences
The untenable approach of BMA CEO and Board is denying BMA members their conferences

Spent today on the @GMBLondonRegion picket line with my @TheBMA staff colleagues ✊🏻
We were in high spirits throughout - and we are united and determined in the fight for #FairPayattheBMA

BMA staff have spoken loud and clear: enough is enough.
With a 96% vote for strike action on an 80% turnout, GMB members are standing up for fair pay after years of erosion.

🚨BREAKING🚨
@TheBMA staff vote overwhelmingly to take strike action in @GMBLondonRegion ballot
‘Are you prepared to take part in strike action?’
Turnout: 80.18%
Yes: 96.02%
This is a clear signal that BMA staff will not accept yet another below inflation pay award.
Nigel Mason retweeted
🚨 Reminder for all @GMBLondonRegion members working at @TheBMA
📮 Post your ballots on taking strike action immediately
🗳️ Ballot closes at 12pm Monday 16th March
Vote YES to strike action to reject yet another real-terms pay cut for BMA staff

🚨BREAKING:
GMB London Region will ballot 400+ members working for the British Medical Association after pay talks at Acas broke down.
The revised offer still leaves many facing real-terms cuts, with morale already low amid a restructure that could mean job losses.

🚨BREAKING: @TheBMA staff enter into pay dispute with their employer over 'hypocritical' 2 per cent pay offer.
The BMA heavily criticised the Government over a pay award to doctors of 2.5 per cent, but has offered their own staff less.

Great to be at @hitchinpriory for the homecoming gig for local boy @JamesBayMusic 🤠🎸
Can we have a big shout-out for our wonderful local music venue @club85
The road to the big stages starts on a small local stage somewhere like Club 85.

I'm shocked and saddened by Rick's passing. I'm thinking back to us all rehearsing in my bedroom in Stanley Road, Woking. To all the pubs and clubs we played at as kids, to eventually making a record. What a journey!

After another busy week in Westminster, great to get back home and out on the doorstep in Ickleford this evening!
Thanks to everyone who took the time to speak to us, great to hear lots of support for @NDM66 ahead of the county elections in May 🌹 – at Ickleford, England
An interesting thread given some of the post Budget hyperbole on this issue........
UK Govts tried to convince people we could have northern European levels of public services and welfare, funded by North American levels of taxation. The result has been a crisis in health & social care, and in public services.
This budget is a clear step in the right direction.

I've been asked what my favourite commentary is on the budget and it's unquestionably this exchange.
