Striking junior doctors rallied outside Downing Street in central London on Thursday (June 27) as part of the latest industrial action over a long-running pay dispute.

Demonstrators outside the residence of the Prime Minister chanted "hey Rishi Sunak, you liar, I want to know who you're hiding from".

Junior doctors are demanding "full pay restoration", equivalent to a 35% pay rise.

Placards at the rally included "£15/hour is not a fair wage for a junior doctor", "reduced to clear, doctors now 30% off" and "clap is a disease, not a payment".

The UK will vote in a general election on July 4 to decide the next government. Polling suggests Labour will achieve a strong majority, ending 14 years of the Conservatives in power.
