Thousands to protest against the rising cost-of-living crisis across Britain
People's Assembly Against Austerity stage a "yellow vest"-inspired rally in central London calling for a general election

THOUSANDS of workers and campaigners fighting against the rising cost-of-living crisis will gather across Britain on Saturday to demand better jobs and living conditions.

Protesters will rally in more than 30 towns and cities across the country, from Aberdeen to Stoke, for a day of action organised by the People’s Assembly Against Austerity, supported by dozens of trade unions and campaign groups.

Inflation is surging with CPI already at 7.5 per cent, while workers are seeing increases in their bills and National Insurance payments as of April 1.
