The reality is likely to be rather different. Equal pay for equal work may indeed be a worthy cause, but who is to judge what endeavours are equivalent? Basing pay simply on seniority does not acknowledge the different contributions different employees make. In recent decades, the trend has been in the opposite direction. We have been steadily eroding pay transparency in a raft of professions.

The pay packages for the general secretaries of these Labour-affiliated unions range around £150,000. Mick Whelan of the train drivers' Aslef - a man with an impeccable record for imposing misery on commuters - was paid £126,067, plus a £24,015 pension contribution in 2023, a package worth £150,082 in total. Community's Roy Rickhuss received £129,523, coming to nearly £166,000 with benefits.

The NASUWT has moved a long way in its 100-year-plus history. It is one of the few organisations operating today that was set up with an explicitly sexist purpose, as the history of the union by Nigel de Gruchy, its former general secretary, sets out.

The Left saw these privatisations as a bribe; just as council house sales were discounted, shares were deliberately underpriced so the public could make a quick buck. And they are right in this analysis, but it was not an electoral bung but rather a strategy to change public attitudes. Perhaps the apotheosis of this campaign was the 1986 "Tell Sid" advertising campaign for the sale of British Gas. Its message was unapologetic: these flotations are for everyone.

Who are the rich? Are we talking about the plutocrat jetting between London, New York and Monaco who makes it onto the annual rich lists? Or are we thinking about the City banker whose annual bonus of £500,000 is enough to buy outright an average family home in the South East? Or are we in fact discussing the head of a state secondary school on £150,000?

Scrapping the Vagrancy Act is an interesting case - it is not actually being binned by Labour. It was actually scrapped in law by the last Tory govt, but the law was not brought into force by secondary legislation. Now Labour is bringing into force https://t.co/zUuua8mW5v
