Labour MP Oliver Ryan said on Monday that resident doctors got a 29% pay rise “last year”.
But the 29% figure for doctors in England actually represents the combined effect of several pay rises over three years, including the current one.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

The kids' crime? Gathering wild vegetables.
