Labour has ‘not set out any money’ for Waspi women, says shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves
she was disappointed by Labour’s apparent position on what she called a “scandalous injustice”.
“There are lots of things that a Labour government might like to do, but the state of the public finances and the dire need of our public services means that we won’t be able to do everything that we might like to do.” “Countless Labour MPs have stood in pictures smiling with us and demanding the Conservatives take action.
Mr Johnson had told Waspi campaigners that he would “see what I can do to sort it out” while he was campaigning to be Conservative leader in 2019.“We have gathered support from many Labour MPs. It’s just not good enough to be treated this way. It’s a terrible let down. It’s a wilful disregard of the PHSO.”
“Sooner or later, they will have to provide compensation. They can’t ignore us. It’s a scandalous injustice – so many women suffered terrible hardships.”
