The TUC condemned the main thrust of Chancellor George Osborne's Autumn Statement, delivered on 5 December, as lacking any vision of a future economy that could deliver decent jobs and living standards.
'When you are self-harming you should stop, not look for better sticking plasters', said TUC general secretary Brendan Barber. 'With the economy still scraping along the bottom, unemployment set to rise and the Chancellor missing his own debt target, we need a fundamental change in direction, not more muddling through.'
