For years, WASPI women have campaigned for justice after being failed by poor communication over changes to the State Pension age.

Since first being elected, I have been calling for the Government to recognise the injustice suffered by women born in the 1950s and provide fair compensation for those affected.

Today, I have written to the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, urging him to honour Labour's previous commitments and act on the Ombudsman's recommendation for compensation.

Fairness cannot be forgotten once in Government. WASPI women have waited long enough for justice.

Last week, I met the team from Fighting With Pride. Their goal is simple: to make sure every LGBT veteran affected by the historic ban on homosexuality in our Armed Forces knows about the Financial Recognition Scheme before it's too late.

I want to take this opportunity to remind anyone who served between 1967 and 2000, or anyone who knows a veteran who did, about the deadline of 12 December 2026. Every eligible veteran deserves the chance to benefit before the Scheme.

The changes are the biggest made to local government in more than 50 years.

A productive morning at Newton Poppleford Village Hall - the latest stop on my summer tour. It was wonderful to see faces familiar and new, and to hear what matters most locally. We covered the Northmostown road closure; traffic through the village; local government reorganisation; South West Water, shortages and the hosepipe ban; and SEND funding for local families.
Thank you for a warm and honest welcome.
