Scottish Labour leader attacks Starmer's 'deeply disappointing' Waspi women decision

^{Published on 2024-12-18 14:20:47 - The Daily Telegraph}

Russell Findlay, the Scottish Tory leader, said: "Anas Sarwar thought he would stroll into Bute House in 2026, but Sir Keir Starmer is wrecking Scottish Labour's campaign by breaking every promise he made before the general election and betraying pensioners, farmers, businesses and workers."

The article from The Telegraph discusses the Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar's criticism of Sir Keir Starmer's decision regarding the Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) campaign. Sarwar expressed his disagreement with Starmer's stance, particularly on the issue of compensation for women affected by changes to the state pension age. He emphasized that the Scottish Labour Party supports the Waspi women and believes they deserve compensation for the lack of proper notification about the pension age increase. This disagreement highlights internal tensions within the Labour Party, as Sarwar's comments suggest a divergence from the UK Labour leader's position, potentially impacting the party's unity and strategy ahead of future elections.
