TUC: The Tory prospectus is so bad we'll accept any crumbs from Labour was the underlying theme of the last night's General Council dinner.
The Government was represented by Labour Deputy Leader Harriet Harman who made the case for Gordon Brown's cuts speech claiming that the Labour leadership was the 'voice of the people'.
Brown has saved the world and the car scrappage scheme held up as an example of innovation. Concessions on equalities are historic achievements - never mind that the whole gamut of anti trade union and deregulated labour laws remain firmly in place. 'We fight to win'.
A treble scotch please waiter....
