It was only the #WASPI legal action which brought the correct evidence to the DWP Secretary of State’s attention and forced him to reconsider the decision not to award compensation. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our legal fund to enable this to happen. #NotGoingAway

"We are getting to the point where we have way too much tax on labour, on work, on income, and so we should increase taxes on unearned income such as wealth and inheritance, which you've done nothing – in my view – to deserve"

Private companies operating care services in just three regions of England made £250m profits in 3 years,

£87.7m of profits went to care providers owned by private equity controlled from tax havens.

Profits mean money buys less. Higher taxes for less service.

Say NO to privatisation.

With the Budget just a month away, I’ve written a letter urging the Government to deliver long-overdue justice for WASPI women.

The Ombudsman has been clear: these women were failed by the system, and they deserve fair compensation.

It’s time for the Government to meet with WASPI, listen, and act.
