Big crowds take to London streets to protest soaring costs

LONDON (AP) — Thousands of people marched through central London on Saturday in a protest over the soaring cost of living in Britain.

 

Huge crowds flooded into the British capital for the rally to demand that the government do more to help people faced with bills and other expenses that are rising more quickly than their wages.

 

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been criticized for being slow to respond to the cost-of-living crisis. Inflation in Britain and across Europe has been surging, as Russia's war in Ukraine crimped supplies of energy and food staples like wheat. Prices were already rising before the war, as the global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in strong consumer demand.

which is why he flew to Ukraine rather than attend a levelling up conference in Doncaster. 
 

He won’t go to those areas where people are suffering, so they come to see him. 
 

How nice for everyone.
