1."The balance it (the Court) has fixed upon now favours Govt power over claims of individuals" Aidan O'Neill QC
#50sWomen certainly feel victims of an imbalance of power in the way #SupremeCourt dismissed their case as "out of time"
#WednesburyUnreasonableness
#FullRestitution
2. #50sWomen suspect that judges in High Court #judicialreview may have been unduly influenced by Govt misrepresentation of the impact of a positive judgement in favour of our claim
➡️suggestion of "opening floodgates" of similar claims & "unaffordability"
Should be irrelevant!
3.
Prof Conor Gearty QC:
The post 2020 #SupremeCourt has reverted to....."legal formalism"...."displaying an old-school lack of interest in the lived experience of those whose plight have brought them to judges' attention"
Too true for #50sWomen
#WaspiFullRestitutionNow
4. To anyone who hates blatant #injustice:
NOW would be a very good time to sign this petition if you haven't already done so!
#50sWomen
#WaspiFullRestitutionNow
#SupremeCourt refused to hear #50sWomen appeal re. #discrimination on "paper thin" grounds
change.org/p/prime-minist…
#50sWomen were not even allowed to have our case heard by #SupremeCourt, in spite of our appeal being permitted on ALL grounds
So presumably our case could not form part of the #APPGDC review & report
Was Govt afraid we would win our case?

Who is being let down by current #pensions policy?
⚡low paid
⚡self employed
#men & #women in their 40s
⚡Part time workers below £10k threshold for autoenrolment
⚡carers
⚡mothers not claiming child benefit
#PMQs
#50sWomen recognise the shortcomings!
#FullRestitution ImageImageImageImage
Strange isn't it (or maybe not!) how many of the groups let down by #pensions policy contain significantly large numbers of #women?
Younger #women would do well to support #50sWomen, who have seen all these failings coming & are fighting on YOUR BEHALF to force Govt action!
Not least of which would be to carry out a proper #gendersensitive #impactassessment on any future changes in #pensions policy or implementation, which was denied to #50sWomen, & to begin to consider the ratified #CEDAW convention in any proposals

#BackTo60 #FullRestitution
1. 1st they came for #50sWomen as they:
💥initially added 5 yrs to our State Pension Age whilst deliberately not telling us
💥took no notice of the lifetime of inequality suffered by #50sWomen
💥or that their private pensions are a fraction of men's
⬇️
2.
💥& auto-enrolment discriminates against women
💥ignored their own pensions committee report that told them exactly those things
💥& the unpaid caring many women carry out
💥then accelerated the rise in SPA by several years
💥& added another year to the SPA for women & men
⬇️
3.
💥reneged on a promise to give women auto-credits that 9.8 million men had been given over 35 years
💥increased the qualifying years to 35
💥reduced widows' pensions especially for those on the New State Pension
💥raised the age at which a couple could get pension credit
