Tory Mel Stride refuses to say if WASPI women will get compensation in heated GMB exchange - @MelJStride - time to address this properly please. #50swomen are dying at the rate of 1 every 13 minutes! Government saved 180 billion. We matter! mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
She's very happy to sing for her supper when a fat fee is dangled, Truss registering £280,000 from speeches plus hefty expenses since a disastrous if mercifully brief Premiership. "Liz Truss among over 25 MPs not to speak in Commons this year." mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Glad you are factual Inor the people who don’t understand this seem to think 50s women can afford to subsidise others for a 6 yr gap when the reverse is true

Oh my God Andrew Pierce on GMB is absolutely desperate to discredit Angela Rayner 😱 He is a Tory what about all their dodgy financial dealings 🙄 The whole issue is blown out of proportion completely to cover up a inept government! It’s the usual dead cat 😡
“No undue delay?” we have had over eight years of undue delay already, in that time we have lost almost 275,000 #WASPI women. The report isn’t rocket science. Stop faffing about @MelJStride we deserve better than this #commitforfaircompensation now.

The UK State #Pension is so low that the millions of people with no other income will really struggle. Earnings link should be retained. Paltry UK pensions show why triple lock must stay express.co.uk/finance/person…
In 2012 @DominicRaab said: “People who are coasting - it should be easier to let them go, to give the unemployed a chance.” It’s time he took his own advice and resigned.
The "parliamentsplaining" going on from some MPs to #WASPI women is truly shocking. One justified no compensation on COVID. Irony is that 50s women are in the worst affected group for unemployment as a result of it on top of historic inequality.@WASPI_Campaign
