  Work and Pension Secretary Liz Kendall announced that around 3.5 million women born in the 1950s will not be given any sort of financial compesation.


The article discusses the backlash from the SNP's deputy leader, Keith Brown, against the Labour government's decision to reject compensation for the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign. The WASPI women, born in the 1950s, were affected by changes to the state pension age which were not adequately communicated, leading to financial hardship. Brown criticized Labour for betraying pensioners by not addressing this issue, especially after the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman recommended compensation. He highlighted the government's failure to act on the ombudsman's findings, accusing Labour of ignoring the needs of these women who have faced significant financial difficulties due to the pension age increase. This stance has been seen as a political misstep by Labour, potentially alienating a significant voter base.
