NHS consultant pay, net zero claims and Scotland's ferry woes
Are NHS consultants in England really paid an average of 拢120,000 a year?
NHS consultants in England are striking over a pay offer of 6%. We look at whether they are paid an average of 拢120,000 a year and examine how much their pay compared to inflation has fallen. Also we fact check some of the claims Rishi Sunak made in his net zero speech, ask whether Britain is really that bad at building infrastructure compared to other countries and investigate the real levels of cancellations at Scotland and the UK's largest ferry company, Calmac.
