    Perhaps we need to look harder at MPs pensions.

    Why? They went CARE like the rest a couple of years back. The liabilities of the MPs' pension scheme are a drop in the ocean compared to the big public sector schemes'. Also, it's funded like the LGPS rather than unfunded like Teachers, NHS, police, civil service, firefighters, etc.

    Don't be letting your facts get in the way of a spot of MP bashing ;)
