Nigel Farage has responded to comments made by Paul Nowak, saying he thinks the TUC will become increasingly political.
Speaking on GB News Nigel Farage said: “Those of a certain age can remember when the TUC was immensely powerful and very, very political.
“I've just got a sense that this TUC is now starting to flex its political muscles in a way that we haven't actually seen for decades in this country.
“Interesting, isn't it? I mean, why should the General Secretary of the Trade Unions Congress choose to launch an attack on Reform, who may have a lot of voters but only have five Members of Parliament.
“This, I think, is a sign we're going to see a very political TUC.
“Let’s face it, they still fund about 85% of the Labour Party's income comes from trade unions. Labour are back in power.
“They were on best behaviour under the Conservatives. Now they have real leverage.
“[Paul Nowak] was a very political intervention.
“We’re going to hear a lot more about Paul Nowak. Whether he becomes a household name, like in the old days of the Len Murrays etc, I don’t know, but we’re going to hear more of him.”
