Responding to comments by Barack Obama’s spokesperson today (Friday) on the prospects of an agreement at the London G20 summit, TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said:

‘The G20 cannot be just another talking shop. We need real progress on tackling the recession and on making the world a fairer and a greener place.

‘This makes the Put People First march in London on the Saturday before the summit even more important as a way of putting pressure on world leaders to agree a programme of radical action.’
