Protesters against fuel poverty outside Downing street on Monday (Guy Smallman)
Protests are set for this Saturday, 12 February, across Britain around the slogan “Cost of living crisis, we can’t pay”. Initiated by a range of groups, they are all supported by the People’s Assembly. Mass turnout at these protests will show the level of anger of the cost of living crisis, and show the Tories there is resistance to their rule.
