CAMPAIGNERS will descend on London to protest the soaring cost of living, it was announced today, as the direst prediction yet suggested annual energy bills could hit nearly £5,300 next year.

The new Enough is Enough initiative, a grassroots campaign backed by unions, foodbank charities and socialist Labour MPs, will hold the first of 50 rallies nationwide in Clapham on Wednesday evening next week, organisers confirmed. 

Headliners will include RMT’s Mick Lynch and Eddie Dempsey, Communication Workers Union general secretary Dave Ward and Coventry South MP Zarah Sultana.
