I’ve been to three picket lines, four protests and witnessed two occupations in the eighteen months I’ve been at university. I’ve heard chanting and music, I’ve seen the same banners and faces time and time again, and I’ve listened to MPs talk and Students Union representatives argue. I’ve stood in the freezing cold and pouring rain with lecturers complaining about their pensions, leafleted with students protesting arms agreements, and marched with members of the public about the cost of living

Parade became the latest play on Broadway to hit the news this week, with right wing extremist groups lining the street to protest the show. The group shouted slurs, waved banners, and handed out flyers that promoted a group that have been linked to an antisemitic shooting in Los Angeles last week.

This was for all of the reasons that moving to university is, but also for an additional one: I had never been clubbing, and I knew even before I arrived that I probably never would.

Lancaster University Students’ Union president has claimed that the Union is “shit” following a disagreement with her education officer regarding the UCU strikes.

Speaking at the Lancaster UCU picket lines yesterday (November 24th), president India Ellis gave a speech in support of the striking university lecturers where she referenced an Instagram post made by VP Education, Noah Katz, regarding the strikes.
