If they pay the Bone Spur Narcissist one penny then I'm joining the License Fee protest and cancelling. They're not using my money.

A stretch, but I'd also like to see a counter-suit on the claim that the BBC is "100% fake news". M

Does the PM have complete confidence in both of them?

If so, my guess is they'll both be gone by Friday.

Typical misandry from a woman.

Back in the day the wife shared the man's income such that she could stay at home while he worked. Same with his pension πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Equal pay needed to be addressed using the Equality Act as many have since done and been compensated for.

Educate yourself.

I don't follow what that has to do with the State Pension between 60-65 or compensation for who wrote to who when.

All you can do is link to the information sheet of a failed campaign!

Have you got any original thoughts of your own?

In the very first line it says "In 1995 the Government increased women’s state pension age from 60 to 65."

There you go, from the horses mouth. None of that was a secret - you've had 30 years to prepare.

Anything else?

Not all WASPI did either πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

For those who did, tap your husbands pension in retirement just like you shared his salary when childminding. It's how partnerships work.

I doubt you've ever changed anybody's mind.

My children, still in their 20s, both have degrees, careers and are on the mortgage ladder.

What happened to yours?

They'll get a State Pension benefit like everybody else. Most of them are already receiving it πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I'm still trying to work out what your thoughts amount to.

Is it full restitution that you are after or the compensation that's been mooted with respect to a 24-month delay sending a letter?

You didn't lose anything. You received your State Pension benefit at exactly the same age your husbands did.

People who can't afford things when working are generally not going to be better off in retirement πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

That's not even a thing.

Every WASPI born before 1959 is now in receipt of their State Pension.

Did you sleep through 1994 when the Pension Bill was being debated?

And there was no such commitment in Labour's manifesto.

Stop lying.

Well that must be a worry. Where do you think the other 40% of YES voters are at? Alba?

Ok, well that's a difficult circumstance, but state pension
policy can't be set on that basis.

Other things would have to kick in such as e.g. life insurance, nominated survivor beneficiaries in private pensions and other more relevant benefits

What was unfair about equalising the qualifying age with men?

PS They had 30 years notice πŸ‘

Your pension, your responsibility.

Pensioners in abject poverty haven't saved enough for their retirement e.g. compared to the 84% of pensioners not in poverty who did.

Same state pension, same rules.

Have you got a link to that promise?

It's not in their manifesto.
