The Brothers and Sisters arrived in Brighton this week to harangue the Prime Minister and spend members' subscriptions in local bars.
I was there myself standing outside the conference centre with my sandwich board with the catchy slogan:
British TUC 6.8 million members
All China Trade Union Confederation 134 millon members
You're gonna get your fuckin' head kicked in
Prominant Scottish political journalist, Ian McWhirter likes to refer to the Scottish Trade Union Congress as the 'semi-finals of the intergalactic drinking competition'.
While the TUC fails to live up to this exacting standard (although it is fair to say that strong drink is taken) I am pleased to report that Ken Livingston continues to do his bit for socialism.
A waitress in the Regency Fish Restaurant told me that his party of four had three bottles of rioja and two large brandys at lunch time on Monday. At lunch time!!
Truly a hero of the revolution.
