On October 1, 2022, the United Kingdom was marked by enormous protests organized by labor unions and environmental activists. According to a Press TV report, these rallies, titled “Enough is Enough”, protested the country’s rising cost of living and inflation throughout the UK’s most prominent cities.
Inflation in the UK is at a 40-year high.
Traditionally, the British pound has been one of the world’s stronger currencies.

Since Liz Truss assumed the position of Prime Minister on September 6, 2022, the UK has been in a state of political and economic uncertainty. Increased immigration, an economy hobbled by the country’s sanctions war against Russia, and a generalized distrust of the British political class has made UK residents lose trust in their political leaders.
