TUC's Brendan Barber - Austerity measures "not delivering"
Tens of thousands of people are expected to march through London in protest against the government's austerity measures.
Labour leader Ed Miliband is among dozens of speakers due to address crowds in Hyde Park - where the march ends.
Demonstrators want the coalition to end public service cuts and instead create policies they say can create growth.
Brendan Barber, general secretary of the TUC, said he wanted to see an "active industrial policy".
