Angela Rayner torn apart with three words on Good Morning Britain over WASPI betrayal

Angela Rayner and the Labour government were called out on Good Morning Britain after they backtracked on promises to support the Waspi women.

Liz Kendall, the Work and pensions Secretary, sparked fury after denying 3.8 million women compensation over changes to the state pension.

She insisted that denying compensation was the “right decision and the fair decision” because most women knew the state pension age was increasing.

When in opposition, Ms Kendall said she supported the group’s campaign and vowed to "identify and deliver a fair solution".

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a pledget hat called for “fair and fast compensation” for Waspi women in 2022.

Labour has been slammed once again as the controversial decision was discussed on Wednesday's instalment of Good Morning Britain.

Presenters Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway were joined by Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire, who were all in agreement that the decision was shocking.

A number of images appeared on screen showing senior members of the Labout party, including Sir Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Ms Rayner and Ms Kendall, all backing the women’s campaign while in opposition.

Richard declared: "These are Labour frontbenchers in opposition and they were campaigning with the WASPI women, who they say today, that they have every right under the rules of common sense and fair play, to have absolutely assumed that they were going to have the support of the Labour government."

Kevin agreed, exclaiming: "It's a betrayal!"

Labour MP Brian Leishman hit out at his own government, saying he was "appalled" at the move. He said the women affected did not need “hollow statements. What they need is justice”.
