The FBU is aware that pro-Palestine protesters are holding further demonstrations in Leicester.

Previously, firefighters have been asked to assist the police in removing protestors.

The FBU advises all members not to be involved in law enforcement activities.

GB News' executive creative director Erron Gordon, is leaving after only four months to become...the BBC's Head of Department for London, the Mail reports (via Press Gazette)

What is really depressing is that little already-defeated Rishi Sunak is gonna say 'jump' and the university leaders are gonna say, 'yes sir, how high?'

muted this an age ago but do wonder what people who’ve spent 24 hours furiously calling me, amongst other things, a “groomer” for pointing out that it’s easier to take my bfs 8yo daughter to the toilet in unisex bathrooms believe they’ve achieved for the cause of womens rights

Everyone (98%) who takes their child's needs for special / additional educational support to a tribunal wins. We are systematically excluding and letting down children who most need help - because of ongoing cuts / austerity.

my boyfriend has an 8 year old daughter. when we’re out+ about she often needs someone to go to the toilet with her - taking aside all the ways below is unworkable and regressive, it actually also makes the lives of parents with young children much more challenging, and for what!

If, like me, you subjected yourself to that terrible Zadie Smith thing, read Steven Salaita's excellent response to her spurious and defamatory claims about our courageous students stevesalaita.com/our-your-pitif…

Yet another Labour politician failing to understand how the Additional Member System (AMS) voting system works.

Sian Berry (Sian Berry) was elected via the London-wide list whereby voters vote for a party, not an individual 🗳️

Day 2 of the Gaza student protest here in Cambridge; if you're a Cambridge staff member, please consider signing the statement of support for our students via this link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

The British Society for Middle Eastern Studies is in solidarity with the student encampments for Gaza and calls on university and college leaders to respect their freedom of expression and assembly and to constructively engage with students' demands ✊🏻🇵🇸

This is incorrect. Their demands are simple and direct. You can read the demands of all 167 camps right here. students4gaza.directory They also chant clearly and make clear signs. Anyone who doesn’t know what they are demanding is being willingly ignorant, Jill Filipovic.
