Extraordinary - and doesn’t reflect well on the Govt. - that the Ombudsman is so clear that @DWPgovuk will reject her conclusions on #WaspiWomen that she calls immediately for a Parliamentary vote. That sound you can hear is Govt forever dragging its feet.
Back in 2017, I received a lot of criticism for writing this piece in defence of the #waspi#WaspiWomen. Today, the PHSO said: “Parliament now needs to act swiftly, and make sure a compensation scheme is established." @yorkshirepost

Women born in the 1950s have been fighting for justice for years
Today's ombudsman report confirms what many of us have been saying the 3.8 million women need compensation
But the suggested £1-3k is nowhere near enough for #WaspiWomen pushed into poverty by Tory Govt decisions
Anything less than Level 6 redress by @DWPgovuk for the #waspiwomen is unacceptable. I pay tribute to the women for their tenacity, for not 'going away'. Especially to those women no longer here, for whom the findings came too late. We will fight on for you.
For nearly a decade, 1950s-born #WaspiWomen have fought for justice, yet the Tory UKGovt did nothing. Today's ombudsman report confirms what we've known all along, that 3.8 million women deserve compensation. It's time for Parliament to act and ensure justice is served! #WASPI
A truly devastating and damning indictment of the DWP.
Given they cannot be trusted to remedy this injustice, Parliament must do so without delay.
My SNP colleagues and I will use our voice to press for action. Justice delayed is justice denied.

I just signed the petition calling on Fujitsu to be held to account for their role in the Post Office scandal. Will you sign too? #PostOfficeScandal https://t.co/7dgAGhtohs via @38degrees
@MartinSLewis Martin, I have no children however my nephew lives with me. How can I avoid him paying inheritance tax as my property is over the threshold
Where is your commitment to #WASPI women @RishiSunak ?, women whose dignity has been far from preserved as many of us are plunged into poverty,begging and borrowing from friends & family. We deserve better treatment & #fairandfastcompensation from @Conservatives@WASPI_Campaign
