@LalehKhalili the politics of the post colonial middle east lectures i had with you last semester were some of my favourites from my (almost) three years - i’m so sorry about management’s shittiness but wherever you end up next will be lucky to have you
Join us on Saturday 3rd April, 1pm by the Clock Tower for a #Leicester#KillTheBill demonstration! Bring signs, banners & friends. This bill is authoritarian and must be stopped.
After watching shocking scenes of the police handling of a peaceful gathering of women in Clapham this evening, the Government’s attempt to rush through Parliament next week a significant increase in police powers over public demonstration & activities surely has to be resisted.
STATEMENT REGARDING QMUL'S OFFER OF RENT REDUCTION
Dear striker,
We are writing to you about QMUL’s offer of a 30% rent reduction for the rest of this academic year. Do not accept this offer. It is a trap. It doesn’t address all of our demands.

RENT STRIKING HAS AN ANTI-RACIST, ANTI-CLASSIST AND ANTI-CAPITALIST HISTORY. 1/3
This history is unique to QMUL’s rent strike campaign. The East End Bengali community used the same tactics that we are using right now, in the same place as us.
We are mindful of this legacy.
Want to support our strike but can't participate? Please sign our solidarity petition! Management are currently ignoring us so we need as many signatures as possible to build our campaign against them and against the marketisation of HE in general! https://t.co/Ro2tbieY34
270 strikers and growing by the minute...
@QMUL can’t ignore us forever
Shame on Colin Bailey for keeping campus open to profit off of a bunch of 18 year olds. Join the strike now or express support for our demands by signing the solidarity petition. Both links in our profile💥
Why is Colin Bailey suggesting that students on courses not listed as exceptions in the government guidelines can return to campus if they want? When will students who wish to adhere to national lockdown going to get their rent refunded for the weeks they cannot be on campus?
