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.
I have a lack of fear whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway I have great expectations for the future but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.
