Rushanara Ali, minister for homelessness and democracy, says it was a “difficult decision” for the government and that “lessons will need to be learnt” as Labour confirms that Waspi women will not get compensation.
Ms Ali says the £10.5bn in compensation was not a “fair and proportionate” use of public money.

Oh we’re fixing the mess we inherited blah blah blah
A difficult decision that won't affect me or the rest of the red Tories.
what a joke labour are !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get em out
Ururur urrrrrrrrr got bored moved on
To the Labour Government "Why is it a difficult decision?" – Any decision carries with it negative and unforseen repercussions so WHY is this WASPI refusal difficult!? Also the Pension decision WHY was that so difficult!?"
It is funny that every time a decision that the government make it is always is referred to as being difficult especially when it concerns people having things removed from them. This lot are despicable and immoral
It’s not a delay, it’s a straightforward “NOT A CHANCE GO AWAY”
The king should step in dissolving Parliament reissue Parliament and they should all be British members of parliament. They should have the correct qualifications to be a MP or prime minister, especially I qualified economist not a bank clerk. Whilst this is probably not going to happen, I'm really hoping that it will or at least labor will finally step up and vote for no confidence
When will this end 😪 am glad am 60 and on the end stretch off life my country has gone to the dogs (mark off the beast )
YES IRRESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT LABOUR PARTY 🤐 BACKSTABBERS
In the other news, there is money for Ukraine
Well what can one say.
Cannot believe these lying politicians 💩🤬😤 disgraceful
IS SHE A ROBOT? HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE RUNNING OUT COUNTRY. SHAMBLES 🤬
The UK isn't going to survive 5 years of Starmer and Labour….
So we can't afford to give WASPI women the compensation there due, but we can afford to spend 8 million a day on immigration. Someone has got there priorities all wrong me thinks. Talk about sticking to the script and having a policy of not me gov, if they is the quality of minister we now have representing the British people and the country we in so much trouble.
Pensioners are worse off under Labour
Up to now the government have made two difficult decisions-
1 removal of winter fuel allowance
2 non payment to WASPI women.
So do we conclude that
a) train drivers pay rise
b)junior doctors pay rise
c) money sent to Syria
d) money sent to France + many more millions sent abroad to countries that are richer than the UK. So are we to assume that all the above were easy decisions

Liar, Liar, Liar, there are all Liars!
‘it is not just sleaze and scandal that have eroded trust. Just as corrosive has been the inability of politicians to keep promises made to the British people. Over the last 14 years, the vast chasm between Conservative slogans and reality has shown a contempt for democracy. From claiming “we’re all in it together” while decimating public services, to the empty promises to “level up”, gimmicks and gestures have shamefully replaced the hard graft of governing.
In contrast, Labour has been transformed from a party of protest to one that always puts the interests of the country first. Now we are determined to do the same with our politics, returning government to the service of working people. This will require a reset in our public life; a clean-up that ensures the highest standards of integrity and honesty. ‘. Labour Party election manifesto
Another total liar.
What next cancelling the post-office payouts or the Cladding compensation. If I hear one more MP come out with the non existent black hole I will scream.
Are there WASPI men because weve all been affected by these changes, i feel for the women affected but what about the men that were affected by these changes.
Remember the 2.4 million
on Legacy Benefits & Carer's
that have been refused the UC uplift totaling £1,560..
also those on who are stuck on ESA that are not working.
As the Judge said when refusing equality to those on UC.. that 'those on Legacy Benefits have less chance of getting a job..'
saving the government £4bn by neglecting the most vulnerable in society.
Who are subject to the same sanctions etc as UC claimants..
All Labour do is deflect, deflect, deflect…
Sir Keir Starmer has his own pension plans in LAW! A pension law just for him.
This government are very good at apoligising
Automatoms .never has a government been so bloody useless…beyond stupid
The Ombudsmen found the government at fault and directed that they should be paid out. The DWP have refused to acknowledge the findings, chosen to arrogantly ignore it and wont pay compensation. The government can find billions for any project rather than Brits?
Arent we sick to the back teeth of this Lefty pantomime act from Labour politicians, continuing to talk twaddle relentlessly in order to AVOID giving a straight answer. Its not professional nor is it acceptable.
This is not the Labour Party but some bunch of con artists who have cynically lied their way into power. These useless MP's and cabinet members haven't got a clue how to run the country.
Tell me again how much a year is she on plus her heating allowance… utter bull
Incompetance
