The Labour Government

[ganganvince]

Just to get some facts out there - the report was published in March - Jeremy **** said the Govt were not going to compensate the WASPI women but Labour have let them down? Even GeeBeeBee's reported on it in March

15,000 Waspi women demand action as Hunt confirms triple lock but refuses to commit to compensation

The Government have been urged to compensate thousands of women, including Waspi (Women Against State Pension Inequality) campaigners, who were affected by short notice changes to their state pension age

Says he was confident of raising the money through growth not that he wasn't paying it unless I have missed something in your attachment?

That's the triple lock he's talking about (or possibly the infected blood scandal!). It's not a particularly well written article, but he's definitely not talking about WASPI compensation.

Dons his tin hat...

Maybe women should work 2 yrs longer as they live on average 2 yrs more than men. It would help fix the pension funding problem.

ye seemed to be ok for men to do an extra 5 years for a long time, could never get my head round that, work longer shorter pension life!

What happened to us all working less and enjoying longer retirements due to technology?


Work until you're fucked or die.............unless you're loaded that is ...or a politician .

Certainly doesn't say they weren't paying it though as quoted in post I replied too.

You forgot this little fact.

And the incoming Labour Government said they were going to pay the compensation. Do you deny this ??

Surely, the simple solution is to pay WFA who are not paying the higher rate of tax. I appreciate it is not likely to recover as much as they want to but it would be a token effort for a start. Makes absolute sense to me. Higher tax rate pensioners get nothing, others get full WFA.

I said much the same to the wife when it was breakfast news. She conceded that I may have a point. She certainly had no sympathy with the Waspi women.

And now totally irrelevant... The Tories got what was coming to them at the ballot box.. It's now up to Starmer and his mob to deal with this.. They say they're not paying if I understand the statements coming out of Whitehall correctly

A fucking poor show when they can magic up £50m at the drop of a hat for Syria... Would Syria give us £50m if the shoe was on the other foot... I know the likely answer
