Thousands of women will die in cold homes without seeing pension justice over the winter while Tories dish out rewards to rich bankers, a Labour stalwart said tonight.
Baroness Glenys Thornton, shadow equalities minister in the House of Lords, said it was "shamefull" that an estimated 3.6 million women whose pension age was unexpectedly raised have not been compensated.
She voiced her support for the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign and said Labour is committed to justice - but warned the £40 to £50 billion compensation package demanded could be a sticking point.
