PIP exists because life costs more if you are disabled. Those costs won’t magically disappear because the government decides to squeeze eligibility - disabled people already face a disproportionately high risk of poverty. This plan will push even more disabled people into

The government says compensating #WASPI would not be a good use of tax payers money, yet it would cost a small fraction of what they will have saved by raising #1950swomen #StatePension age. Please repost and donate to our fundraising appeal. Thank you. https://t.co/1bZWrmt8Kv

Fantastic cross party support from Labour and Conservative MPs in Westminster Hall debate today. #WASPI women came from all over the country and there was support from the Lib Dems, SNP and DUP as well.

An investigation by the @PHSOmbudsman found maladministration and recommended compensation. @Keir_Starmer is misleading the public with his '90% of '50s women knew'. He is presenting the information dishonestly and the media are parroting this falsehood. https://t.co/wvLXeqQP9u

What many younger people do not appreciate is that #waspi women born in the 50s are of a generation where private pensions were not a "thing", unless they were lucky enough to be in the minority with an occupational pension. They were given little or no warning that the 1/

If you’re a @WASPI_Campaign woman and you receive a letter like this in response to an email you can send to your local Labour MP/MSP, please remind them you have seen this template before. Remind them to stand up for #WASPI and not for Downing Street dictat from @UKLabour

Thanks Neil. Your support is really appreciated by #Waspi women like me. I hope all the Labour MPs like you persuade the PM & DWP Secretary to change their minds, especially as they publicly backed our campaign for justice & compensation & never said they stopped supporting us.

The government’s refusal to compensate WASPI women for the unfair changes to their state pension age is deeply disappointing and a failure to address the hardship caused. These women deserve justice and fairness. Read my article for Labour Outlook here 👇 https://t.co/4wQGkB6aVu
