Labour criticised for WASPI decision

Over 10,000 WASPI women across Oldham stand to lose out in compensation after the Labour Government decided to ignore the independent ombudsman’s assessment of what should be paid out.

Oldham Liberal Democrat parliamentary spokesperson Sam Al-Hamdani said: “The review was completed before Labour took office, and they were aware of the costs and the implications when they were discussing the budget. 

“I know that there have been ongoing discussions between WASPI and the Ministers, and I genuinely expected better from this Government. 

“This decision should not be allowed to stand.”
