As you will know we have had huge pay cuts since 2008 but this marks a change in that trajectory. And if these communications break down, then we will be thinking about going back into dispute and striking again if we need to, but that is always a last case resort and something we don t want to have to do. The offer included a backdated pay rise for last year of 4%, on top of an existing increase worth an average of 9%, and for this year, an additional 6% increase, topped up with an extra £1,000, which comes to around 9%. It overall adds up to 22%. The government says strike action byjunior doctors cost the nhs in england around £1. 7 billion. The health secretary welcomed the vote in favour of the deal. The deal we ve reached with junior doctors is fair for them, but crucially fair for patients and the taxpayer because now we can draw a line under this bitter dispute, cut waiting lists and get our nhs notjust back on its feet, but fit for the future.

You can see the wall of sandbags and the river behind. They have plugged the gap and in fact the river water level has begun to fall back. It seems according to the authorities that the immediate danger has passed. They are prepared if the water level rises again. There is talk of another problem with the embankment a little further up but after a dramatic night lots of helicopters in the skies, lots of sirens and huge numbers of volunteers to bring these sandbags to the spot to try to protect their town. It does seem like this morning the sun has come out and people are more hopeful, that perhaps the worst has pas ....
