WASPI WOMEN PLEDGE FROM LABOUR PARTY
As part of its manifesto, Labour has also pledged to keep the state pension at 66 and not raise it in the future. After the current state pension age rises to 66 next year, it is then due to increase to 67 by 2028, and 68 by 2039. Labour has also promised to maintain the triple lock, guaranteeing new state pension increases by either 2.5%, average wage growth, or inflation.
However, pension experts have criticised the policies for the impact they would have on taxpayers. Each of the women involved could receive payments of around £30,000.

THE BUCK MUST STOP WITH JEANNE FREEMAN
Against that background, I really do think Jeanne Freeman should “consider her position” as Health Secretary. In fact, it takes a fair bit of brass neck still be there since her watch has been littered with episodes which should carry Ministerial responsibility. Scotland is a small country and if half its Health Boards are failing, then the buck stops at the centre.
