A government update on the Waspi women campaign took Westminster by surprise.

A parliamentary ombudsman concluded that compensation should be paid to a large number of women born in the 1950s .

Many of whom suffered severe financial hardship as a consequence of not knowing about planned increases to the state pension age.

The Lib Dems were in government 13 years ago when these changes were brought in.

The SNP is in government now, in Scotland , and will be doing precisely nothing for the Waspi women of its own.

The shadow work and pensions secretary Helen Whately was in an invidious position.
