Starmer and his Cabinet lied to WASPI women. How can you trust a word they say?

Up to 100 Labour MPs could vote against Waspi payout refusal. #WASPI has significant support from backbenchers, many of whom pledged their support as recently as October. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Raising #WASPI women’s pension age has already saved the government £181 billion. Recompense would cost £10 billion, a tiny fraction of that sum. Our polling shows that most UK adults (i.e. taxpayers) support compensation.

The Chancellor says the government won't pay 'expensive compensation' to Waspi women because it's not 'the best use of taxpayers money' Reeves insists she understands why women affected by the change to the state pension age 'feel disappointed by this decision'

Wonderful to see the Bristol Scout displaying as a part of a WW1 sequence at the Shuttleworth Festival of Flight on 29 June. This aircraft is a reproduction built by @ScoutBuilder in memory of David Bremner's Grandfather 'Bunnie' Bremner who flew Bristol Scout 1264 with the RNAS.

If you are in the area, you'll enjoy a visit to the Shuttleworth Collection buff.ly/45iOExs where there is a temporary exhibition about Lanoe Hawker and Bristol Scout 1264, which appeared in the recent short film, Hawker.

Bristol Scout originally a racer but pressed in to the war was well loved by those that flew it. It was the aircraft used by Cpt. Lanoe Hawker to shoot down multiple enemy over Passchendael, for which he received a VC. 3/9
