Ed Miliband to attend TUC anti-cuts demonstration Miliband made the commitment to join the march at a question and answer session during the Labour conference in Manchester. Photograph: Andrew Winning/REUTERS Ed Miliband is to attend the TUC anti-cuts demonstration on Saturday, but plans to precede his speech with a visit to small businesses the day before in a bid to prove his One Nation credentials. The aim is to show he is not in hock to one vested group or another. Miliband is certain to face criticism from the Tory Party for cosying up to the unions and engaging in "class war." He will also face criticism from sections of the left accusing him of hypocrisy since he has said he would also be imposing spending cuts if he were in government. It is not expected that Miliband will actually join the march, but will instead speak to the gathering and then leave. Miliband made the commitment to join the march at a question and answer session during the Labour conference in Manchester, even though it has caused anxiety in some circles.
