This recent report by #IFS only serves to emphasise how harshly #50sWomen were treated, with no mitigation in place despite the unprecedented & ill-communicated rise in #SPA of up to 6 yrs
This was #discrimination

Labour MPs issued their own statement in response to Houchen. They will campaign for steelmaking on Teesside but accuse him of “play(ing) political games”.
