Waspi women's fresh fury on pension ruling
Liverpool Echo
|January 31, 2026
A MINISTER has denied betraying so-called 'Waspi women' affected by the way changes to the state pension age were communicated.
-
Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden said a targeted compensation programme would “not be practical”, with a wider flat-rate scheme costing up to £10.3 billion.
His decision has sparked fury among campaigners including the group Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi).
Its chairwoman Angela Madden accused the Government of treating 1950s-born women with “utter contempt”, branding the decision a “disgraceful political choice”.
Mr McFadden visited Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire on Friday, where he was asked if he had betrayed the women.
