Tens of thousands of people from across the country will gather in Central London tomorrow to demand a better deal for workers.
The TUC has organised the march to send a message to the Government that more needs to be done to tackle the cost of living crisis.
This week the Mirror has reported on how tough life has become for so many households.
We have spoken to an NHS worker who is having to walk six miles to work because he can no longer afford to run a car.
We visited foodbanks which had turned people away because they ran out of supplies.
And we talked to a disabled women who cannot afford to have a shower because her heating bill has almost doubled.
Tomorrow’s demonstration will be a chance to give these people a voice.
Those who rally will be speaking for the four million children living in poverty, the millions of people in low-paid and insecure work and the carers, cleaners and many other workers who desperately need a pay rise.
The Government should not just listen to their call, it should act on it.
Flights action
The decision by Gatwick Airport to cut the number of flights over summer will not have been taken lightly.
When the sector is desperate to recoup the losses it suffered during the pandemic any cancellations will eat into their profits.
But Gatwick’s operators argue that the reduction will prevent a repeat of the disruption witnessed over the Jubilee weekend.
Passengers affected by the decision will be understandably angry and many will question why the industry was not better prepared for the inevitable rush to go abroad once the Covid restrictions were lifted.
It’s a gamble..
Skegness is promoting itself as the Las Vegas of UK coastal resorts.
The US city may want to repay the compliment, by putting up a sign saying “Las Vegas is SO bracing.”
