Huge news for the
@WASPI_Campaign
!
The Government has dragged its heels on this for years, and as a direct result, many many women have since died without seeing justice. The WASPI women have provided damning evidence!
We need fair compensation, and we need it fast.
On Tuesday, Parliament will scrutinise the work of
@PHSOmbudsman
. Read what
#WASPI
have told the committee about
