"They want their money back and quite rightly so"

Angela Rayner on the WASPI women back in 2019. Rayner is now deputy PM.

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

We know BBC Scotland has a camera crew at Holyrood today because it doorstepped Kate Forbes to ask her about the Ferguson shipyard. It should be confronting those Labour MSPs who jumped on the Waspi bandwagon to get votes.

[BBC Newsnight @BBCNewsnight]

In 2022, Sir Keir Starmer described the WASPI women’s campaign as “a real injustice,” adding: “We’ve got a government which has basically put its fingers in its ears”

@nicholaswatt talks about the Prime Minister’s 2022 interview with @bbcMerseyside

You cannot move past the total lack of sincerity. No core whatsoever.

Starmer has betrayed WASPI victims.

But he does not give a toss.

He will not lose a wink of sleep.

The man is not fit.
He is a fraud.

Full stop.

Yvette Cooper in 2017: "I'll keep fighting for a fair deal for WASPI women"

Whatever happened to her?

[Stephen Flynn @StephenFlynnSNP]

When it was politically convenient to do so, Labour backed the WASPI women.

Today they have chosen to betray them.

[Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @Plaid_Cymru]

A WASPI woman dies every 13 minutes without seeing justice for the UK Government's pensions maladministration

Labour has betrayed women born in the 1950s

Why are Icelanders so calm about their constantly erupting volcanic home? Well public o'ship of geothermal energy means £60-100pcm for heat, hot water & electricity & one eruption actually improved a harbour wall. New podcast; Iceland, Fire Island. https://t.co/BkrooN1j0I

[Scotonomics @Scotonomics1]

The government could simply credit the bank accounts of all of those woman. No taxpayers or their money would be involved.

I think Glaswegians have every right to expect the resignation of Labour's @GlasgowPam tonight:

Red meat is the main dietary driver of the climate crisis and wildlife crisis - two things the King stands against. He hasn’t given it up for these reasons, but for personal ones - that’s a shame.

We need to ‘change what we chew’ for climate and wildlife issues - as well as personal health. Reasons to be plant based, one, two, three (said to an Ian Dury beat).

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

Our government need to step up. The King gets the best medical advice money can buy - and that advice is to give up red meat to reduce his risk of cancer.

That advice should be given to everyone in our country now - cancer does not discriminate between Kings and peasants.

@2ears2wheels @LBC I stopped listening the day James O’Brian said Sangita had her show cancelled without warning or thanks due to listener numbers. 👀 Not to be trusted sadly.

The biggest issue with the Budget? It's that Scotland isn't independent yet https://t.co/M9MmI8Nm0D

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Labour is rotten https://t.co/tzmka3Gdfj Labour is backing the City against the consumer in new moves it is making to limit the power of regulators. How on earth did we end up with a government the media calls ‘left of centre’ which does this?

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Mounjaro is a sign that the government does not care https://t.co/EQfmHuZxuC Mounjaro is a mechanism for delivering profit to big pharmaceutical companies. The conditions it is supposed to treat can be better managed in other ways - including by taking on the anti-social, high-profit, products produced by the food industry. But the government does not care. Profit is everything to it.
