Women campaigning about the impact of changes to the state pension age have vowed to continue after the government rejected compensation for them. "We're certainly not giving up the fight," said Debbie de Spon, membership director of the Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) campaign. Meanwhile, politicians have called for the government to backtrack on the decision, with Labour MP Brian Leishman saying he was "appalled". But the government have said there was no evidence of "direct financial loss" and that there was "considerable awareness" of changes to the pension age.
