Huge thanks to our incredible local #WASPI group @WASPILPG for inviting to me to speak yesterday and to @CllrDraper for all your work & support. Women born in the 50s had their state pension age changed without fair notification. They deserve both recognition & compensation.
@WASPILPG & @WIGMAKWASPI put on great fundraiser lastnight. Support from @JoPlattMP @Y_FovargueMP @lisanandy Leader of the Council David Molyneux & our very own @WiganCouncil WASPI champion @CllrDraper -Great atmosphere, music-finished off with Lobby of course! #Solidarity
Great Coffee Morning at Howe Bridge in aid of Macmillan Nurses. Brilliant staff support and Waspi Leigh out in force to help! @WiganCouncil @JRP468002 @buddy_dementia @WASPI_Campaign_ @leighwaspi
Another memever , another victim @WASPILPG @SnaithPauline @GwynneMP @carolynharris24

When was the last time we actually heard an accurate figure quoted by either the PM or her Cabinet? It's not "exaggeration", it's blatant misrepresentation of facts for political gain. This is not a game, its people's lives, it's completely unacceptable

@WASPI_Campaign @JoPlattMP @JRP468002 @WASPILPG @CllrDraper @NaziaRehman6 So this MP thinks it's fine for 60+ women to work for £3.50 per hour! The insults keep coming#notgoingaway# evolvepolitics.com/tory-mp-says-e…
WIN for WASPI as MP's vote 288-0 to help WASPI women after Tory Ministers, fearing defeat, fail to show up. Gov't clearly knows it's wrong!
Five Tory rebels and DUP support for @theSNP motion tonight means there is a majority in @HouseofCommons in support of justice for #WASPI women. Time for the Tory Government to act @WASPI_Campaign @waspigl1
MP slammed for saying #WASPI women should take on apprenticeships mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
The Government is adding insult to injury by failing to investigate the claims of over 4,000 @WASPI_Campaign women #PMQS
So @GuyOpperman tried the old divide & fall strategy @UKParliament opposition debate today but @theSNP having none of it & standing firmly beside all UK #Waspi women. Good to see there are still honest principled politicians out there!

Thank you for your continued support @timloughton. We agree, #WASPI is far too important an issue to be used as a political football by any political party, whether Labour, SNP or Conservative.
