Campaigners have reacted furiously to the government's refusal to compensate women affected by changes to the state pension age, claiming it's unjustified.
Angela Madden of the Waspi campaign called the decision an "insult", expressing disbelief that the government can disregard an independent ombudsman’s recommendations.
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall stated that many women were aware of the pension age increase, making financial compensation to all women unfair.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer acknowledged the concerns of Waspi women but emphasized the need to consider the financial impact on taxpayers.
