Newspaper headlines: 'Ambulance strike threatens lives' and 'call a taxi'

The Financial Times leads with Health Secretary Steve Barclay holding "crisis talks" with ambulance unions amid warnings industrial action over pay could last six months. The paper says the health secretary will meet three ambulance union bosses to discuss cover for 999 calls during their strike over pay on Wednesday. It adds industrial action by NHS workers poses the "biggest challenge" to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Only patients at immediate risk of dying, like those who have stopped breathing, will be sent an ambulance during the 24-hour stoppage, with everyone else having to make other arrangements, writes the paper.Mr Sunak has told the Daily Mail he will not back down over striking unions' "unreasonable" pay demands. The paper suggests the prime minister indicated he would tolerate months of disruption rather than risk an inflationary wage-price spiral.

Slowly and Gradually the rift is growing bigger. Address it now or there will be never.

Disgraceful striking. Shouldnt be allowed to strike. This government will make it illegal soon. Im so proud to have voted for the conservatives because they have real guts to make the necessary changes.

There are reports that MohammadMehdiKarami is in immediate danger of being executed by the Islamic Republic. A global response is urgently needed. Be his voice, please

The S*n 🤣🤣🤣

Considering most ambulance shift time is spent sat at a&e waiting to offload and move to the next patient, the impact of the strike will not be much different for people who fall ill 1 hour after shift change...

People have been calling taxis for years now, under this crappy govt's disgraceful health administration.

Who gives a fuck what the sun has to say about anything

Newspapers blaming the nhs instead of the government? What has this country come to.

How could you tell? The state of ambulance response times AS IS threatens lives. My eighty eight year old neighbour collapsed last November and we were told it was a twelve hour wait. (They managed to get there in eight and a half.) This is not the fault of frontline staff.

All parts of the NHS needs huge investment. Everything is so stretched & at breaking point . People will die as a result of the current industrial action.

Under funding by the Conservatives has made things dangerous not the strikers.

.Conservatives Party threatens lives should be the headline.
