Government debt running at 100% of GDP, and total debt pile of 2.5tn .

Reeves pledged to meet two fiscal rules, which were largely unchanged from the self-imposed measures drawn up by her predecessor, Jeremy Hunt .

The changes are aimed at paving the way for billions of pounds more investment in the economy.

Current debt target sets an incentive to sell off illiquid assets like the student loan book without regard for whether you get a good price for it, or whether you think the public sector, or private, are better placed to manage it in the long term.

Measure includes non-financial assets such as the road network, schools and hospitals alongside financial ones.
