WASPI Midlothian

Local Waspi group against unfair changes to State Pension Age affecting women born in 1950's

[WASPI Midlothian @WaspiMidlothian]

@DaniRowley @PaulJSweeney @ingamcvicar @rusty1320 @mcdougall371 @flanykpl Not our claim just an assumption off the event referred to in another tweet, have always been willing to work with you but concerned re Paul Sweeneys allegation and lack of retraction or comment from yourself

[WASPI Midlothian @WaspiMidlothian]

@PaulJSweeney @ingamcvicar @rusty1320 @mcdougall371 @flanykpl @DaniRowley Pretty sure this refers to an event over 2 years ago which Danielle had plenty of prior notice to, perhaps you'd also like to withdraw allegations of us being run by a SNP clique we have always remained apolitical

Todays @Daily_Record reports on plans by @CommonsWorkPen to hold inquiry into State Pension changes for 1950s born women. #WASPI @waspigl1

Well done @WASPI_Campaign @WASPIint making their voice heard at #Budget18 💪

[Ian Blackford @blackfordian1]

As next weeks budget approaches @theSNP is once again calling on the @GOVUK to do the right thing and make funding available to support the women effected by the acceleration of the increase in the State Pension Age.

@PhilipHammondUK give justice to the women of @WASPI_Campaign_

DWP reveal that some women did not find out until they were 59 that their State pension age had changed. #backto60 #waspi https://t.co/J2HE5qh9ES

Never give up on something you really want. It's difficult to wait, but worse to regret.

We asked the Department for Work and Pensions if a minister was available to talk about this - they declined, and instead sent us a statement, explains @jo_coburn #waspi #bbcdp

[BBC Daily Politics and Sunday Politics @_daily_politics]

“The state pension age has risen twice, and lots of women have found it very confusing to work out actually when they are going to get their pension” @Savvy_woman

#waspi #bbcdp

[BBC Daily Politics and Sunday Politics @_daily_politics]

“I am technically a Waspi woman myself and I don’t consider myself stupid. But I categorically never got a letter saying any of the 95 changes would apply to me… it’s a big jump and they were not informed” @Dr_PhilippaW adding some women could lose £40k-plus of pension

They are getting noisy and they are not going away

@ElizabethGlinka met some of the @WASPI_Campaign team in Liverpool to hear about the effect of raising the state pension age for some women

Or the injustice to 50's born women over their pensions https://t.co/Z3Q15de2BL

And what do you think Millicent Fawcett would think about the two child benefit cap and the rape clause?... https://t.co/Ih1WBL0xeA

[#WASPI Campaign @WASPI_Campaign]

BBC @daily_politics will be screening the film of Liverpool #WASPI & director Lila Bennett on Tues 24th April. This coincides with the unveiling of the statue of Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square. Dr Phillipa Whitford SNP @Dr_PhilippaW will be appearing live.

Found this, it explains everything 😀 Happy International Women's Day #WASPI #notgoingaway

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Imagine someone you loved was betrayed, robbed & left destitute by someone she trusted & you will understand the gross injustice dished out by this Government to women born in the 1950s. I shall tweet this every wk until @WASPI_Campaign receive justice https://t.co/MeyLFUCltD

[Chris Elmore MP @CPJElmore]

Some #1950sWomen will be waiting well over 6 years for their #StatePension following changes brought in under the Tories/Lib Dems. The Gov't needs to stop plugging the line that women will "only wait 18 months" and instead act to correct the injustice they have caused:
