Originally posted by Spiderman If this works the same as any public sector pension, this article is nonsense. Firstly he would be able to take it at 60.

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 Edited by Spiderman (20 Jul 2021 7.43am) agree the article is nonsense but MPs get much better pension benefits than a standard public sector pension. Reading the article it appears he can take if early without any penalty, which would not be the case with 99.9% of public sector employees. His package will be part of his t&c so he's not doing anything wrong. To me it just shows what great benefits we give our MPs on top of their salary

Bercow was an MP for a bit under 20 years and under the terms of his pension scheme he will have had the pension reduced for taking it early. But we'll if the usual suspects want to get all frothy about someone taking their pension so be it. I have a pension and plan to take it as soon as I can guess I must be a hypocrite to. And I have met Bercow a few times. He is actually far better company than most MP's
