Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI have produced a handy reminder of where Keir Starmer has positioned himself with regard to compensation to older women for government maladministration. (You can be sure when there's a choice to be made, Sir Keir will make the wrong one.)

With local and devolved parliamentary elections coming up, are you wondering where the parties stand on #WASPI compensation? Here’s a handy guide. Ask candidates where they stand on compensating 1950s women and what they’ll do to support us.
We have taken the first steps towards our next legal challenge. The government’s position on the injustice we have suffered is just as irrational and unfair in the legal sense as it is offensive to #WASPI women. Read the full update here: www.crowdjustice.com/case/waspiju...
It was a pleasure to chat with Angela Madden CEO of the #WASPI Campaign. A campaign deep seated in getting justice for a generation of women who were robbed of their pension rights.
Thank you to @LibDemWomen for highlighting the Waspi Campaign today and in their motion proposal.
#WASPI Champion Julian Lewis MP and Speaker of the House Lindsay Hoyle, pointing out that the Government didn’t properly alert MPs about the announcement on compensation. Afraid of how their own MPs would react perhaps?
"Ultimately, the more women we engage with, the better chance we have of making an impact and achieving our goal of gaining UK Government support to finally agree to compensation."

No MP can fail to notice the number of emails they’ve had on #WASPI compensation. The govt must allow Parliament to make the decision on this as the Ombudsman requested. If you haven’t emailed your MP yet, here’s a link to do it. waspi.co.uk/getting-invo... #JusticeForWASPIWomen #notgoingaway
#WASPI’s lawyers have now completed a line by line analysis of the government’s decision to refuse compensation. Next steps will be announced soon.

ScottishGreens MSP @maggiechapman.bsky.social has praised the work of #WASPI campaigners across Scotland as their month of action comes to an end, highlighting Labour’s ‘betrayal’ of women affected by changes to the #StatePensionAge

Last night, Green candidate Hannah Spencer won the Gorton and Denton by-election, overturning a long-held Labour seat. Labour’s refusal to honour the pledges it made to #WASPI women before the last election has had real consequences — including last night’s result.
I love that they've done this in #WASPI colours, just to remind everyone that they don't give a flying you know what for older women:

David Mundell MP: “I do think this is entirely the wrong decision and one that not only leaves millions of affected women out in the cold but also undercuts the role of MPs.” #WASPI

We knew this wouldn’t be easy, that we had a fight on our hands. But we have strength, determination and right on our side. We must email our MPs again. New day, new message. Parliament has the power to right this wrong. Send your email today. Link here: ow.ly/SOZT50YebXf #WASPI #notgoingaway
It wouldn't surprise me if Rachel Reeves were to introduce wealth taxes to pay #waspi and to increase #nhs and education funding.
It was great to meet you and the #WASPI ladies from #Chelmsford ,your commitment and continued support for @waspicampaign.bsky.social is very much appreciated.
Thank you for caring @mariecgoldman.bsky.social

"The WASPI campaign is consulting lawyers about a fresh judicial review after the Government refused compensation to 1950s-born women affected by state pension age changes" #WASPI #1950swomen
More than 57,000 people have put their names to an online petition demanding the UK Government apologise and provide financial redress to all 1950s-born women affected by State Pension age changes. #WASPI #1950swomen
@waspicampaign.bsky.social
The statement by @patmcfaddenmp.bsky.social shocked & insulted #WASPI ladies in its tone and content. Our MPs need to have their say.
Please email your MP asking them to call for a binding vote on compensating #WASPI women in Government time. 👇

Shaking Starmer knew about #Mandelson's friendship with #Epstein when he appointed him. Same Starmer who targeted the vulnerable, old & disabled. He also reneged on promises to #WASPI women. Pretty sure they were shaking too as he snatched their #winterfuelpayment
#StarmerOut #Epstein
"Comments about Pat McFadden’s announcement have been those of disbelief, and his tone towards 1950s born women has been very misogynistic, sexist and ageist. Not what you expect from a parliamentary secretary!"

"Quite simply, the DWP did not notify 3.6 million women of the state pension age increase, and this consequently came as a shock to all affected. No warning, no notice, no pension."
#WASPI
"The government is still claiming that our cohort knew the state pension age was changing, and if a letter was received, we hadn’t read it or didn’t understand the content. What absolute rubbish and how insulting!"
