Honestly if they do I think every person below the age of 40 should riot at this point
FFS, those self entitled chancers can fuck right off. If they put up income tax to support bullshit like this, I am done with Labour.
Tax rises for the young and working, free handouts for the old and wealthy.
Pay up everyone, and smile while you’re at it, our broad shoulders can carry anyone who wants a handout.
If they do, they will effectively undo the change in state pension age and be forced to admit they can never change it
Has there ever been a generation before that’s been so insulated from the consequences of their own actions? Like, it’s genuinely remarkable that governments are willing to give them so _much_ for so _little_.
UK is one giant care home with a country stuck on the side.
What are we doing here? Anyone under the age of 40 is getting absolutely shafted. The middle class is utterly ruined, what growth is going to happen in the future if it’s all stashed away by pensioners & people on benefits?
I’d like to get married, I’d like to have a child, I’d like a life but it’s such a up hill battle every step of the way.
Im tired boss.
Apparently this is due to a 2007 report not being taken into account. There’s no suggestion that the government is changing its mind.
You’ve got to laugh at this point.
No doubt when Reform get in we’ll be funnelling even more cash to their boomer voter base.
These people will never win this. If they do it opens the door for male pensioners to claim compensation for having a higher retirement age than women.
If they put up taxes and then give money away to that selfish, greedy bunch then I’m done with Labour, possibly for good.
U-turn on winter fuel, u-turn on WASPI, u-turn on increasing taxes on working people. Pensioners and scroungers crying and moaning whilst getting everything handed to them on a silver plate, but people working 40 hours a week (who should be Labours fucking primary base) picking up the bill during the worst cost of living crisis in a generation. This is the bad place.
This was an unjustified sex-based privilege that should never have existed. It could have been cancelled immediately in 1993 and no-one would have the right to complain. But they were given 25 years advance notice before it was done in 2018.
– Boomers vote.
– Boomers love money.
– Boomers vote for the highest bidder.
– This is a bribe.
And once again, young people will be picking up the tab.
They can consider all they want but they better not. This, and scrapping 2 child benefit cap? They can sniff my kipper
Good to know you can plan absolutely nothing for your future, kick up a fuss and get handouts from the pot of money everyone else contributed to.
I’ve never really understood this WASPI woman thing. Wasn’t the raise in the state pension age reported on for literally years?
I am going to have to report myself to Prevent if they give these chancers so much as a penny
Political parties will only ever cater to demographics that vote. While it’s a bit chicken and egg until younger people
vote in greater numbers these things will continue
Everyone needs to email their local MPs pleading with them not to support this.
Can I get some money too before the country goes bankrupt?
I need it because I got anxiety on account of the country going bankrupt.
Can we also provide funding building towards Mirpur International Airport please? Let us prioritize our budget to better reflect the needs of the population!
For anyone being misled by the preemptive anger of the headline-only readers – undisclosed evidence has come to light that should have been considered when the decision on compensation was made. The undisclosed evidence is being used against the government in the legal proceedings to challenge the decision not to compensate WASPI women. Reviewing the decision in light of the new evidence mitigates the threat of it being used against the government in those legal proceedings, and the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions has already explicitly said this should not be interpreted as the government signalling that they believe they made the wrong decision.
It’s not impossible that the undisclosed evidence somehow undermines the government’s decision, but that’s not where we are right now.
I wonder if they will be compensating the men who had to retire later and often died earlier?
I am sick to death of these odious, stupid, greedy women. I’d rather burn the money than give anything to them.
> But he insisted the review should “not be taken as an indication that government will necessarily decide that it should award financial redress”.
Pretty important point down the bottom.
This is foolish. These WASPI women won’t be won over by this colossal waste of money, they’ll be voting reform the next time they have the opportunity to.
So I get national insurance added to my private pension contributions and this lot get a handout? Superb.
They do this, and I will actually vote reform if thats who can beat labour in my area.
and I hate reform, but I no longer see the point of labour if they are going to keep doing this. First it was winter fuel backtrack to give wealthy pensioners tax payers money, now its this, giving a load of entitled whingers money they dont deserve, whilst cutting money helping those that need it and putting up taxes.
Oh man I thought we’d seen the end of this attempted grift.
The name of this group pisses me off, since what they actually want is to continue to benefit from pension inequality.
The idea that there is no money for working age welfare, that we have to try to cut disability benefit and increase working people’s taxes, but somehow they can find billions of pounds to give to pensioners who can’t read a news article, is honestly outrageous.
Nobody else expects individual messages with several years’ notice to inform them of changes to the benefit system. The entire basis of their complaint is nonsense.
On a morbidly comedic side, if Labour and consecutive governments simply ignored the issue, it would disappear on its own accord in the next 10-15 years lol
I have no empathy with the WASPI women save for a discrete group of women who were affected by the 2011 changes which unilaterally increased the pensionable to 66. Men were affected by that as well, lest we all forget, and I don’t read about campaigns to compensate them.
The ground is definitely being prepared for a modest payout in comparison to the the campaign’s bankrupting claims. Why else would this become current news again?
I never understood why women used to get state pension 5 years before men, given that women live longer.
