Enough is Enough: Thousands to join London rally against cost of living crisis

Thousands of protesters are expected to take to the streets in central London this evening, marching against the cost of living crisis.

The rally organised by the Enough is Enough campaign group will take place at the Central Hall in Westminster at 6pm on Wednesday November 2.

Speakers will include Mick Lynch, the RMT General Secretary, alongside UCU General Secretary Jo Grady and frontline striking workers from across the country.

The group founded by trade unions and other community organisations are calling for an end to the cost-of-living crisis and a general election.

A spokesperson for Enough is Enough said: “We are building a campaign to win them.

“That starts with holding rallies across Britain, forming community groups, organising picket line solidarity and taking action against the companies and individuals profiting from this crisis.

“We can’t rely on the establishment to solve our problems. It’s up to us in every workplace and every community.

“So, if you’re struggling to get by and your wages don’t cover the bills, if you’re fed up working harder for less and you’re worried about the future, or if you just can’t stand to see what’s happening to our country – join us.

“Enough is enough. It’s time to turn anger into action.”

Enough is Enough has five demands to tackle the cost of living crisis, according to their website. They are: "1. A Real Pay Rise. 2. Slash Energy Bills. 3. End Food Poverty. 4. Decent Homes for All. 5. Tax the Rich."
