These demands are:
1. A real pay rise
2. Slash energy bills
3. End food poverty
4. Decent homes for all
5. Tax the rich
A spokesperson for Enough is Enough said: “We are building a campaign to win them.
“That starts with holding rallies across Britain, forming community groups, organising picket line solidarity and taking action against the companies and individuals profiting from this crisis.
“We can’t rely on the establishment to solve our problems. It’s up to us in every workplace and every community.

“Enough is enough. It’s time to turn anger into action.”
