ON Tuesday January 30, the pressure group We Paid In, You Pay Out presented Downing Street with a collection of real-life testimonies from women in their sixties affected by the hike in pension ages.
We Paid In, You Pay Out is made up of members from a plethora of different organisations, including the Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) campaign.
All of its participants are fighting for the same goal: pension fairness. The campaign has evolved from one in which information was shared to a place where vigorous debate and polling on contentious questions or policy ideas takes place.
