 An update from WASPI: At this time of year, we would usually be attending party conferences. This year however, with all the political distractions we decided to prioritise the work on the Judicial Review and arrange our own MPs drop in in Westminster where we hope they won’t be distracted, and we can speak to them individually. That will happen in Westminster on 21st October. Your MP will have received an email, so please contact them and encourage them to attend on your behalf.
