Enough is Enough is a British political campaign launched in 2022 that sought to pressure businesses and the United Kingdom Government into subsidising energy costs and increasing wages.[1] The campaign was used as a left-wing policy platform backed by politicians, commentators and trade unions. The organisation's manifesto called for:
- A real pay rise
- A cut in energy bills
- An end to food poverty
- 'Decent' homes for all
- Higher tax for the wealthy[2]
- Nationalisation of Certain Industries.
Mick Lynch, the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers general is one of the organisation's leaders.[3]
At their Autumn Conference in 2022, The Green Party of England and Wales voted to affiliate themselves with the Enough is Enough campaign.[4][better source needed]
