Old LGBTQ+ veterans could die without getting the compensation they're entitled to for being discharged from services (often after being pressured to undergo "corrective" treatments) because of their sexuality. Process is too slow. Intentional? #Injustice www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Alarm raised over slow pace of payouts to UK veterans fired over sexuality

MP Jess Brown-Fuller says at the current rate it could take more than a decade to complete the compensation process

As Liz Kendall stands at the despatch box right now, telling hundreds of thousands of WASPI women they won’t receive a penny in compensation, there are multiple articles on her website proclaiming support for WASPI women 👇

The WASPI women deserve fair and fast compensation. This is a shameful betrayal given the promises that many Labour MPs made to the WASPI women during their election campaigns. news.stv.tv/scotland/was...

The Labour Government will not pay WASPI women any compensation. Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said the proposed payments weren't 'fair or value for taxpayer money'. What is not fair are the false promises made by Labour politicians, who have betrayed the WASPI women.

It is beyond disappointing that Liz Kendall has rejected any compensation for the WASPI women. First, the government cuts winter fuel. Now this? Whose side is the government on? WASPI women have been disgracefully cheated out of their pensions — and they deserve justice.
