SIR Keir Starmer was last night accused of betraying pensioners yet again after the "shameful" decision to refuse compensation to millions of Waspi women.

- Steph Spyro

Months after he axed the winter fuel allowance for 10 million OAPs, 3.6 million women who were born in the 1950s were told that they would not receive payouts over changes to the state pension age.

Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe accused Labour of "betraying our pensioners time after time" since taking office. He added:

"Instead of prioritising British pensioners they've decided to send billions abroad for net zero.

"Starmer has his priorities all wrong and it's hurting the eldest in our society." Retired women will miss out on thousands of pounds.

Angela Madden, chair of Women Against State Pension Inequality, said the group could start fresh legal action: "The Government has today made an unprecedented political choice to ignore the clear recommendations of an independent watchdog which ordered ministers urgently to compensate Waspi women nine months ago.
