In masks outrageous and austere, The years go by in single file; But none has merited my fear, And none has quite escaped my smile. Elinor Wylie
Liberalism, austere in political trifles, has learned ever more artfully to unite a constant protest against the government with a constant submission to it. Alexander Herzen

The TUC's new slogan 'a future that works' sets a profound challenge. Austerity and rapid deficit reduction is failing in its own terms, but even at its best it is short-sighted, muddle-through politics with no vision of a new economic model. Frances O'Grady
Never has a strong, responsible trade union movement been so needed. With austerity policies biting hard and with no evidence that they are working, people at work need the TUC to speak up for them now more than ever. Frances O'Grady
