A Tory Health Minister has urged Brits not to engage in "risky activity" during ambulance strikes - as the Government continues to block pay talks.
Will Quince said he strongly encouraged people not to take risks during Wednesday's walkouts by emergency crews as there would be major disruption to service.
He failed to expand on what he meant by this - nor admit that ambulance callouts often relate to illnesses like heart attacks and strokes rather than injuries.
