UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has faced criticism for rejecting compensation for women affected by state pension age changes, claiming taxpayers cannot afford the cost. Despite a government review that recommended compensation, Starmer emphasized that most affected women were informed. Campaigners argue that many were not adequately notified of the changes, with calls for parliamentary action on the matter. Senior Labour figures, including Angela Rayner, had previously supported the Waspi campaign for justice, leading to accusations of political posturing.
