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
