Rachel Reeves could eradicate 1.3 trillion from off-balance sheet liabilities and reduce the annual deficit.

It would correct a significant moral injustice which sees those not receiving an unfunded public sector pension surrender through their taxes a slice of their income to those who enjoy such an advantage.

It is a sordid practice protected by powerful influence and entitlement.

People receiving the benefits of unfunded pensions are doing so at the expense of higher taxes on future generations.

It is a preposterous, unjust and indefensible economic arrangement.

Finding the political will among politicians who tend to live by the short term of the electoral cycle (on average every four years ) is always going to be difficult.
