I have no real side on this as to paying compensation or not.
I do too think it right retirement age should be the same for men and women.

I understand as much from what's been said by the ombudsman, that a good number were informed adequately.
However certainly not all.

I know there's rumblings among LABOUR MPs, not happy that Ms Kendall has ruled out ANY compensation at all.
Not that the waspi women would likely have ever got anything from the Conservatives.

So it's a wait and see how it progresses I guess.
I wouldn't be against any compensation being paid and think some will probably eventually come.

I recall the general election campaign however in 2019, when it seemed there was a bottomless pit from Labour as to spending.
I recall in the election campaign, when Corbyn shouted out that Labour would pay compensation to the waspi women.
I and the team I was campaigning with just groaned.
Because he hadn't a clue as to how much it would cost.

However from the voters and people we came across, they were furious he'd promised to compensate them.
I found very few then who supported that at all.

It was unaffordable then in 2019 and it's even moreso unaffordable now.
It's pretty annoying too to see the LibDems getting high and mighty on this, when in coalition they voted to accelerate the process of the retirement age.
If a way can be found to compensate some then I wouldn't be opposed to that I guess.
