Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Undoubtedly he's a t*** (and my opinion of him dates back to when he was the Conservative MP where friends of mine live) but if he has pension rights then he's entitled to draw them when he chooses to, within the rules. Changing one's mind about a pension start date is hardly hypocrisy, and in any case the amount at 58 will be actuarially reduced for early payment.

If this works the same as any public sector pension, this article is nonsense. Firstly he would be able to take it at 60.
Secondly if you take your pension before 69, you lose 5% for every year you take it early, this would obviously mean a lower monthly amount. If he deferred it until 65, I believe he would get a higher monthly rate, so actually he is getting less by taking it now.
Having said that I can’t stand the bloke

Reading the article, after having my morning coffee, it seems the speakers pension is different to a normal PS pension so just ignore what I said, except the last sentence

More of a U turn rather than hypocrisy.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Exactly. It's his pension and he may do whatever he wants with it. Personal circumstances can change but he was rather naive making those comments in the first place. ... Pratt!

How much pension do you reckon retired Premier League footballers receive, Becky?

Plus a tax-free cash sum of 3/80ths of final salary for every year.
