On 28 October, Chancellor John Healey delivers his first Budget under PM Andy Burnham and the speculation is already flying: pensions, capital gains, property taxes, you name it.

Here's the thing: last time pension cash was rumoured to be under threat, withdrawals jumped 63% in a year as people rushed to act "just in case." Some of that was sensible. A lot of it, in hindsight, wasn't because you can't undo taking money out of a pension.
