PRIME MINISTER DEMEANS HIS OFFICE
PRIME MINISTER DEMEANS HIS OFFICE
Last week the Prime Minister labelled those who support Scotland’s right to become a normal self-governing independent country - around 50% of the Scottish population - as “dangerous extremists”.
It seems that those who wish to rejoin the European Union are categorised in the same way.
For a Prime Minister to try to discredit normal and peaceful political aspirations of whole swathes of those over whom his Government presides is deeply alarming and is a cause of concern for those of us who value robust, respectful political debate.
Disappointingly but unsurprisingly, the Leader of the House did not indicate any disagreement with the Prime Minister’s hysterica...

WASPI WOMEN BETRAYED BY WESTMINSTER DESPITE VINDICATION FROM OMBUDSMAN

WASPI WOMEN BETRAYED BY WESTMINSTER DESPITE VINDICATION FROM OMBUDSMAN (WASPI - Women Against State Pension Inequality) have been campaigning for years for pension justice after their pension age was raised with little or no notice, throwing retirement plans into chaos and plunging the women born in the 1950s who were impacted, into deep financial distress.

    As an aristocrat with several boat houses and stables I must agree the amount we have to pay in standing charges just for the occasional use of lights in my stables is absurd. The country as a whole should be paying for the wiring needed. Since we got onto the government free money renewable energy scheme we generate lots of local solar energy so we only need the grid on Christmas Day, again absurd I am expected to foot the large standing charge bill when all those people in tower blocks should be contributing to wiring the grid to my estate.

Tough ladies it didn’t go away, and lying about not being told is not going to work. You had mor3 than enough notice and you should have made arrangements, it’s nobody’s fault but your own. Men have had to work on past the age of 60 for years s suck it up and live with it.

      That's complete bollox. So the equality that was the Pensions Act 1995 passed women like your wife by did it? I remember it happening in 1995 and was so pleased (after all women had been retiring earlier than men but living longer) that I mentioned it to a 40 year old woman at work and all she did was shrug and say 'well we wanted equality'. So she knew about it. Why didn't your wife know about it? Ignorance of the law is no excuse. And these so-called WASPI women had their legal case thrown out because the courts ruled that the DWP hadn't been negligent. The Government had done what it had always done - passed a law and made the announcement in Parliament. That information was then disseminated to us through the news media. Lots of us knew about it which means that your wife either wasn't listening or forgot about it. Either way it's her responsibility. Now we have a wet leftie in the form of the Parliamentary Ombudsman saying that the DWP was negligent and there should be a vote in the Commons. Why should the opinion of one wet leftie overrule the opinion of the High Court?! The women who didn't have the wherewithal to know what was going on don't deserve penny.

      Typical male reaction. It wasn't women that set the pension age it was governments. We had no say in the matter but if men wernt happy then they could have complained to the then governments that consisted of mostly men.....another inequality .Most waspii women started working at 15. I started work at 14. We mostly had to take part time work because men deemed us only worthy of looking after children. There wasnt any child minding services that there are today.This government has not only buggered up our pensions but have now also not paid the top up to our NI contributions when caring for families with a " stay at home " payments. All throughout my career I as woman I was discriminated against when doing the same work as men by not being given equal pay. .What this government should have done is taken the women's age up and bought the mens down to an equal age. As it is if the Tories get in power again then none of us will stay alive long enough to draw a pension. I would also like to add that people like my late mother spent 30 Years at my fathers side During his army career and when they got divorced his new wife got the right to his army pension and my mum got nothing ! I had never ever received any notification from the DWP about changes to my pension but my Tory MP told me that I was a liar......that's a bit rich coming from a govern!ent that has done nothing but lie.

    There is a bit of selective amnesia here. In 2019 Labour was promising a £58 million compensation scheme for WASPI women. This was used as a powerful attack point from the Tories because it disrupted Labour's carefully planned budget for their proposed reforms as it required borrowing, and of course the Tories _never_ borrow (cough - tripled the national debt!). The SNP is currently in the similar position of other peripheral parties, who can make whatever promises and claims they like, because they'll _never_ have to bring them to fruition or account for them. Labour, on the other hand are having to make the kind of tough choices that fall to a party that has to take over after 14 years of Tory misrule. I have no doubt that they will do their best to help the WASPI women, as it has been part of their previous policy. However, Starmer is not going to make the same mistake that Corbyn did and commit the party to borrowing, when the 90% Tory-dominated media are circling like hungry vultures, looking for a gap to dive through.

      I think Labour in 2019 was trying to buy votes by offering Waspi women the compensation scheme where you would think every woman who is a Waspi member would be encouraged to vote Labour in their favour. However, Labour's confidence in 2024 is so high that they don't need to offer compensation this time round. I'm not confident of any granted compensation offered, they just don't want to pay as will be stated, information of pension entitlement was all in the newspapers, TV & radio, these women did not take note. But if full compensation is given to Waspi women then so should all men who lost out on their pension one year from aged 65 that wasn't paid until aged 66 be compensated as well. Who's wishing on a star ?

      Just seen a headline (cant confirm its validity) that Starmer has just ruled out waspi compensation. If true, what a lying bunch of bastards the Labour party are and people thought the tories were bad.

    Most men have the vast majority of jobs that require 'hard work' but they have always been made to retire at 67 so I really don't have any sympathy for these women. In fact they still get a better deal than men because they live for a few yeas longer on average and so are still taking the state pension longer. I think it is disgusting, hypocritical and immoral that they should be whinging that they want hand outs. Pure greed and selfishness.

      A lot of women work hard and work just as hard on getting home. Just misogynistic comments on here. It has been proven it was a wrong that should be righted. So should be sorted as instructed. End of.

      They're more likely to pay out the WASPI's highly spurious claim as their wheel is, of course, squeaking so f***ing loud!

    The inequality should be addressed. Why must men work longer to claim the same pension. Why should women get compensation for gaining the equality they demanded. Let’s not forget the men’s pension age went up at the same time as women’s. Where are the calls for compensation for men. You’re correct. The inequality has to end. Women should work as long as men and if women get compensation for the pension age rising then so should men. Men should also be compensated for the decades of having to work for longer than women before getting state pension.

    They had 25 years notice and 90% of women were well aware so you shouldn’t reward ignorance financially

      Shouldn't reward them at all just for being made to accept what men have had to put up with for years.
