Student sit-in over proposed cuts

Students are staging a sit-in at London Metropolitan University in a protest over planned cuts.

Claire Locke, president elect of the students’ union, said up to 70 students were occupying the graduate centre in Holloway Road, north London.

Ms Locke said they were fighting “to maintain the value of our degrees”.

She said the sit-in, which began on Wednesday afternoon, was expected to last all night, with demonstrations planned for Thursday.
