Friday briefing: ​Can the NHS and Labour survive another strike by resident doctors?

The key points from the news article are: - NHS resident doctors (formerly known as junior doctors) in the UK have begun a five-day strike over a pay dispute with the government. - The government has offered a 5.4% pay increase this year, after a 22% rise over the previous two years, amounting to a total uplift of 28.9% over three years. - The strike threatens to undermine Labour's central health pledge, as the NHS and the party face challenges. - In other news, the head of the main UN agency serving Palestinians has reported frontline staff are fainting from hunger in Gaza, as hopes for a ceasefire fade. - A man was found guilty of murdering his two-week-old son in a Somerset baby unit, and over 100,000 people were evacuated in Thailand due to military clashes with Cambodia. - Jeremy Corbyn is setting up a new political party with a former Labour MP to "take on the rich and powerful", and a Soviet-era passenger plane has crashed in Russia's far-east, killing all 48 people on board.
