Huge rally for change

-

TENS of thousands of people from across the country will gather in Central London today to demand a better deal for workers.

The TUC has organised the march to send a message to the Government that more needs to be done to tackle the cost of living crisis.

This week the Mirror has reported on how tough life has become for so many households.

We have spoken to an NHS worker who is having to walk six miles to work because he can no longer afford to run a car.

We visited foodbanks which had turned people away because they ran out of supplies.

And we talked to a disabled woman who cannot afford to have a shower because her heating bill has almost doubled.

Today’s demonstrat­ion will be a chance to give these people a voice.

Those who rally will be speaking for the four million children living in poverty, the millions of people in low-paid and insecure work and the carers, cleaners and many other workers who desperatel­y need a pay rise.

The Government should not just listen to their call, it should act on it.
