Thousands march in London to protest the cost of living.
Thousands of Britons have joined a protest march in central London amid a worsening cost-of-living crisis, calling for a general election.
Thousands of British people joined a protest march in central London on Saturday (November 5th) and called for general elections.
According to the British newspaper “Independent”, Londoners gathered to express their feelings in the midst of the worsening cost of living crisis and asked the new British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak to call an emergency election.
According to this report, well-known figures including Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of the opposition Labor Party, and Mick Lynch, the head of the British Road Transport, Maritime and Railway Trade Union, attended the protest.
The protesters were holding placards demanding the withdrawal and overthrow of the conservative ruling party.
Also, in the continuation of the economic crisis of England and the challenges of Rishi Sunak, the new prime minister, it is said that British nurses are planning a nationwide strike. Earlier, the employees of British universities announced their agreement to start strikes in protest against the increase in living costs. Meanwhile, British railway workers, health workers and legal experts have either gone on strike or are planning to go on strike.
Economic discontent in the UK is at the center of a political crisis that led to the resignation of former Prime Minister Liz Truss just 49 days after taking office.
Rishi Sunak, during the appointment of his government’s cabinet members, decided to retain Jeremy Hunt, who replaced his outgoing Finance Minister Kwazi Kwarteng at the end of the Truss government, with the aim of restoring stability to the British economy. Hunt, a former British foreign secretary and ally of Rishi Sunak, started by canceling the controversial Trust budget and its much-criticized tax cuts.
