2003 Congress: TUC must support workers in struggle The British TUC (Trades Union Congress) Congress opens up today. NUJ General Secretary and TUC General Council member Jeremy Dear spoke to Socialist Appeal about the tasks and perspectives for the trade union movement
The New Situation in Britain A general perspectives document on the economic, social, political and trade union position in Britain, produced at the beginning of 2003 by the Socialist Appeal Editorial Board.
Britain in 2003 - Part One In the nine months since the publication of our perspectives' document, The New Situation in Britain, events internationally and here in Britain have continued to accelerate. The consequences of the imperialist adventure in Iraq have had an even greater impact in Britain than in the US. Here the furore over the death of weapons inspector Dr. David Kelly and the Hutton inquiry represent the most important crisis faced by Blair to date. It is clear that the new situation in Britain is part and parcel of a new, profoundly unstable and tumultuous period in world history.
