While millions of WASPI women face poverty, stress, and broken promises, our beloved Members of Parliament are swimming in the gold-plated pension jacuzzi—bubbling with privilege, topped off with taxpayer-funded bubbles. Let’s break down the brutally absurd comparison of what each gets when they retire, or in the case of MPs, when they just stop pretending to work.
🏛️ The Platinum Pension Club vs. The Forgotten Few
| 💼 | MPs’ Pensions | WASPI Women’s Reality |
| 🕒 Retirement Age | 65 (for most sitting MPs), full pension without penalty | Uplifted to 66–67 without warning or support |
| 💰 Monthly Pension Value | Up to £40,000+ a year (if served long enough), inflation-linked | Average £8,000–£9,000 a year, if they get it at all |
| 🧾 Contributions | Just 13.75% of salary, with taxpayers picking up the rest | Full NI contributions paid for decades—still shafted |
| 🚨 Changes Announced? | With notice, regular reviews, and protection clauses | Implemented with zero proper notice, mass confusion |
| 🧣 Impact | Retire rich, join boards, write memoirs nobody reads | Forced back to work, many face homelessness, hardship |
| 🗣️ Support from Parliament? | Deafening silence. Occasional waffle. | Angry letters, ignored petitions, polite nods in debates |
| 💄 Media Coverage | Polished, protected, “dignified retirement” | Painted as complainers asking for “too much” |
🎭 The WASPI Women Were Promised a Pension—They Got a Plot Twist
They paid in. They planned. They played by the rules. Then the government moved the goalposts while they were mid-kick and told them to be grateful they still had shoes. Meanwhile, MPs wrap up a term or two, then vanish with a payout that could fund a food bank for a year.
It’s not just unfair. It’s economic cruelty wearing a suit and pretending it’s fiscal responsibility.
