The picture is more nuanced than you portray and goes back to 1995.
Fundamentally (i) I do not think that it is reasonable to expect pension benefits from 60 any more given health outcomes and (ii) state benefits are not and have never been a hypothecated guarantee that cannot be altered.
Austerity is a broader issue that the waspi women do not have a special claim for redress on over everyone else who suffered from spending cuts.
I suppose that’s how I ‘dress it up’

The Pensions act in 2011 meant she'd have to work another six years. There was no warning of that. Working in a school during austerity ... this becomes an issue because staff are forever being queezed and job positions deleted. Dress it up as you like.
