Unless doctors stop striking and help Labour fix the damage inflicted by the Tories, the NHS will end up dying under a government led by Reform, Wes Streeting has warned.

Speaking at a special meeting of the British Medical Association’s representative body on Sunday, the health secretary said hospitals and GP surgeries were “hanging by a thread” after more than a decade of neglect by the Conservatives.
