Prof Banfield claims a Department of Health and Social Care post on Thursday presented “misleading figures” on junior doctors pay and used “inflammatory language” to undermine them.

It stated the BMA is “demanding a 35 per cent pay rise”, which Prof Banfield alleges mirrors “language used by some politicians to misrepresent our call for pay restoration to 2008 levels”.

The original tweet has now been fact-checked by Twitter which adds context to the Government’s claim that some junior doctors earn on average £37,000 to £55,900.
