Enough is enough: Campaign to combat cost-of-living crisis launches
Unions, food banks and MPS are demanding a slash in energy bills, real pay raises, and taxes on the rich

UNIONS, food bank volunteers, community organisations and socialist Labour MPs united to say "enough is enough” today, as they launched a nationwide fightback against the crippling cost-of-living crisis.

The grassroots campaign, backed by rank-and-file workers and key labour movement figures — including RMT general secretary Mick Lynch and Coventry South MP Zarah Sultana — comes as a toxic mix of Tory austerity, stagnating wages and soaring inflation pushes millions of families to the brink of catastrophe.

Enough is Enough is demanding a “huge slash in energy bill prices, a real pay rise for all, an end to food poverty, decent homes for all, and greater taxes on the super-wealthy” to address the crisis, as Britain teeters on the edge of yet another recession.
