A new campaign called Enough is Enough has built a coalition of MPs, union officials, and community organisations to tackle the cost-of-living crisis. Inflation has seen the price of fuel, food, and most notably energy increase steeply, with more rises set for later in the year.
The group’s objective is to pressure the government into doing more to subsidise bills, as well as increasing take-home pay for workers. Enough is Enough recently released a campaign video featuring contributions from the RMT’s Mick Lynch and the Communication Workers Union’s (CWU) Dave Ward.
On Tuesday, around 150,000 people had signed up to the campaign. Union leaders said the fact so many people signed up so quickly showed the popularity of the initiative.
