#Waspi news reported by @politico London Playbook...

Starmer also told traveling hacks there’ll be a statement on the plight of “WASPI women” in the “not too distant future.” It’s eight months since an ombudsman recommended that some get compensation.

Should pay out what WASPI are due. Most of the payouts will be spent back into the economy in any case. I don’t know of one WASPI woman that has an offshore account.

Starmer is going to act after 4 months in government to sort out yet another Tory mess. 8 months is not as long a wait as some other groups yet you seem to criticise Starmer. 🤔

Unfortunately not holding my breath Martin, would be good if we are awarded anything that its not taxable but that will never happen 😕

This most recent petition has grown very quickly https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700765?fbclid=IwY2xjawGuz79leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHVzQfNft9slwBPGDT1VAJBW6LKnTR-fIAkfgxThHdDwgqM1ApCtlsaAS2A_aem_JaFLIdvv896puAypqpiAHQ

I'll take that as a "forget it"

jphendo.bsky.social•106 days ago

Interesting that on Bluesky nobody is replying to this with ageist insults, misinformation or comparisons to rich farmers, unlike the Xitter "experts".

stephob26.bsky.social•105 days ago

…..yet. I’m making the most of it, though resigned to the inevitable appearance of the human flotsam from The Other Place…!

We should all get compensation not just some of us.

eileenk.bsky.social•106 days ago

some?

maygray.bsky.social•106 days ago

It will be too little too late for many and the amount offered will be an insult.

lila7.bsky.social•106 days ago

Have you ever understood why the Ombudsman said they should be getting “compensation “?

peterhartt.bsky.social•106 days ago

The key word in Martin's post is "some".

socialistnan123.bsky.social•106 days ago

They will drag this on & on & on just like they have with the Post office scandal, it’s what they do.

peterhartt.bsky.social•106 days ago

Did it pass you by that the Labour government announced in the 30 Oct. budget they have set aside funds to compensate Post Office workers?

mariaspears.bsky.social•106 days ago

But how much has actually even paid out of the 1.8b budget?

socialistnan123.bsky.social•106 days ago

That was my point. Lots of people still waiting for payments, despite the outcry.

mariaspears.bsky.social•106 days ago

I know! I’m still one of them 😔

socialistnan123.bsky.social•106 days ago

It’s disgraceful. 🤞

socialistnan123.bsky.social•106 days ago

No it didn’t. But thanks for the reminder.

kimbo1711.bsky.social•106 days ago

If they do make any payments it’ll be made against the year of birth reducing from 1950 to 1959.

shirleywaspi.bsky.social•106 days ago

Presumably not enough of us have died yet. This freezing cold weather should accelerate the deaths.

fib3.bsky.social•106 days ago

Again a Tory mess left for labour.
