Keir Starmer faces fury over Labour's decision to reject compensation for over 3.5million women in spite of a bombshell watchdog report calling for payouts of nearly £3,000
The article from the Mirror discusses the plight of the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign, highlighting how around 3.8 million women born in the 1950s were affected by changes to the state pension age. An interactive map within the article illustrates the distribution of these women across the UK, showing that the highest number of affected women are in the South East, with significant numbers also in the North West, Scotland, and Wales. The WASPI campaign argues that these women were not adequately informed about the pension age increase from 60 to 65, and then to 66, which left many in financial hardship as they had to wait longer for their pensions. The campaign seeks compensation for the affected women, with an estimated cost of £10.5 billion, and has garnered support from various political figures and parties, although the government has yet to commit to any form of redress.
