AROUND 100 Labour MPs could rebel against the government's decision to deny compensation to WASPI women, insiders claim.

Labour backbencher Clive Lewis said the government made a grave error by ignoring a watchdog’s recommendation to make individual payments of up to £2,950 to around 3.5 million women.
And he warned: “In an age where people are losing faith in politics and the systems we operate this hasn’t gone down well.”
Dozens of his colleagues have criticised the government.
