A LABOUR MP has warned that the next government may be a "hard-line far-right effort" if his party does not deliver "improved living standards".

Labour MP's fears for far-right government

Brian Leishman has criticised the Government for not providing financial compensation to the Waspi women, and for its approach to the oil refinery at Grangemouth.

The MP for Alloa and Grangemouth was one of 10 Labour MPs who supported a Bill introduced by SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn that would require ministers to publish measures to address the findings of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) report, which recommended the UK Government pay compensation to Waspi women - women born in the 1950s whose state pension age was raised so it would be equal with men.
