TUC enlists 'outside' help
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE TUC has broken with the past by hiring an 'outsider' - a former Liberal Democrat official - as a campaigns adviser, writes Barrie Clement.
Des Wilson, who ran the Liberal Democrats' 1992 election campaign and has also worked for Shelter and Friends of the Earth, has been awarded a six-month contract to advise on strategy, particularly longer-term projects such as the campaign for full employment. The appointment is seen as further evidence that the TUC is seeking to distance itself from the Labour Party.
