The WASPI demonstration and lobby of Parliament today will no doubt have been drowned out by other events going on. But I think it’s very important to recognise that the Work and Pensions Committee in the House of Commons came up with a solution to this problem, to allow women to claim their pension early at a reduced rate. What is there that you can do to persuade the UK Government, particularly Stephen Crabb in his current position, that they should reconsider these transitional arrangements, which seem entirely reasonable and won’t cost the taxpayer any more money?
