ACTIVISTS chanted “the fight goes on” outside the High Court today after losing a landmark legal battle against state pension age rises for almost four million women.

More than 100 campaigners from Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) gathered outside the Royal Courts of Justice after the legal battle was dismissed by judges.

The case was brought against the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in July by two women who said raising the pension age from 60 to 66 in 2010 discriminated against women born in the 1950s on the grounds of age and sex.
