Former First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf will receive a pension of £2,600 per year upon retirement, not £52,000 as falsely claimed.

Former First Minister of Scotland Humza Yousaf will receive a pension of £2,600 per year when he retires, according to the Scottish Parliamentary Pension Scheme. Contrary to social media claims, Yousaf will not receive £52,000 per year for life, as the pension scheme for first ministers was abolished in 2009. Yousaf is also eligible for additional retirement payments from his time as an MSP and Holyrood minister.
