The FT publishes the spending cuts that the political parties will not

1. A 5% cut in public sector pay;
2. Freezing benefits for a year; means-testing child benefit;
3. Abolishing winter fuel payments and free television licences;
4. Reducing prison numbers by a quarter;
5. Axing the two planned aircraft carriers; withdrawing free bus passes for pensioners;
6. Delaying Crossrail for three years;
7. Halving roads maintenance;
8. Stopping school building;
9. Halving the spend on teaching assistants and NHS dentistry; and
10. Cutting funding to Scotland and Wales by 10%.

That list of ten eye-watering economies does not appear in any party manifesto but in today's FT which has completed an analysis of the kind of cuts necessary to bring order to Britain's public finances. Perhaps in Thursday's final debate we'll get more candour from the leaders on this biggest of issues facing Britain.
