Thousands Protest in London Over Cost of Living Crisis

Thousands of people have taken to the streets in central London over the government’s lack of response to the cost of living crisis.

Demonstrators held banners reading “cut war not welfare” and “end fuel poverty, insulate homes now.”

The event organized by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has called for a “decent pay rise for public sector workers” and a £15 minimum wage.

The general secretary of the TUC, Frances O’Grady, said Prime Minister Boris Johnson was “cynically abandoning” his commitment to a high-wage economy.
