Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, is to back the growing Enough is Enough movement, whose leaders are planning dozens of rallies against the cost of living crisis which they say will result in people dying.
Burnham’s support indicates a widening political base to a campaign that now has close to 450,000 supporters after it was set up earlier this month by trade union leaders, including the RMT general secretary, Mick Lynch, who said he wanted to “turn anger into action”.
