Badenoch accuses govt of 'playing politics' with Waspi women

Kemi Badenoch has accused the government of "breaking promises" and "playing politics with the Waspi women".

Labour has chosen not to compensate women born in the 1950s, claiming most knew about changes to the state pension age.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer responded saying, "the number one job of this government was to put the finances back in order after the last government lost control".

Reeves: I understand why Waspi campaigners are disappointed

Rachel Reeves says she can understand why women affected by changes to the state pension age will feel "disappointed", but adds that paying an "expensive compensation bill" was not the best use of taxpayers' money. Campaigners say the government's decision not to compensate women affected by changes to the state pension age, and their communication of these changes, are "bizarre and totally unjustified". But the chancellor says the ombudsman has reported that around 90 percent of women knew the changes were coming. Report by Brooksl.
