Official #WASPI: Women Against State Pension Inequality campaigning for compensation as recommended by PHSO for lack of notice of State Pension age changes.
Remembering those #WASPI women we have lost while waiting for justice to be done. We lose one more #1950swoman every 13 minutes, @andyburnham do what you know is the right thing and meet with us now. @UKLabour
In June, @andyburnham said #WASPI women deserved recompense. He was right. He also promised to meet us. 16 weeks into his premiership, that meeting hasn’t happened. We’re asking him to keep his word.

The Government may think the #WASPI issue is done and dusted, but that’s far from the case, with many voters saying a refusal to compensate would sway how they vote. It’s time to do the right thing, @andyburnham.

Until this is addressed, the numerous constituencies where Labour MPs have majorities smaller than the number of #WASPI women are at risk, including mine, @andyburnham@dantomlinsonmp: the broken promises continue to create real risk -do you think older women just don’t matter?
Why are we still waiting for the conversation to start @andyburnham ? #WASPI women say they will remember who supported them and kept their word when it comes to making their decision at the ballot box. @UKLabour

#WASPI is continuing its legal challenge to the UK Government's refusal to establish a compensation scheme, while calling for discussions aimed at finding a resolution.
@andyburnham promised compensation when he was canvassing for votes.

Angela Madden, chair of #WASPI said:
"This budget has shown yet again that when the government feels it needs to, it can act, but when it comes to WASPI women, we are told the cupboard is bare.
"WASPI women are still waiting for the justice the Parliamentary Ombudsman, hundreds of MPs and the public say is due.
“@andyburnham promised to meet with campaigners to discuss redress, and we expect that commitment to be honoured. WASPI stands ready to find a solution that is fair to both affected women and the taxpayer."

Today I was at the AGM for the parliamentary group on State Pension Age Inequality for Women. We continue to push for justice for WASPI women and advocate for WASPI demands to the new government.
