‘We’re not here because it’s fun’: UK university staff join picket lines
Rallies in Leeds, London and across UK demand better pay and pensions amid cost of living crisis.
A large crowd of pickets spilled from the steps of Leeds University’s distinctive Grade II-listed Parkinson Building, flooding on to the pavement below with banners reading “staff working conditions are student learning conditions” and “cold and hungry staff can’t support you”.
Despite temperatures dropping, about 800 university workers turned out for the Leeds rally – part of a series of long-running national strikes at more than 150 universities. Three unions at four universities across the city were joined by sympathetic students to march the mile-long route to Leeds town hall, in one of dozens of rallies across the UK.
Hundreds of support staff at Leeds Beckett University and University of Leeds on strike action over pay in Leeds City centre. Adminstrators, cleaners,library,security and catering workers were joined by academics ands students on a mass march through Leeds city centre from the Parkinson building at Leeds University to Leeds Town Hall in west Yorkshire.

From 'Socialist Eton' to anarchy and riots — what went wrong at Holland Park School?
A place at the state school was once considered a golden ticket but reports of bullying, intimidation and public shamings have shaken the community.
The school, housed in a six-storey glass building next to Holland Park - the most expensive state school building in the country - is known for its "interesting, controversial, sexy reputation", said one mother. Local families always loved its strong results and its truly comprehensive intake which has included the children of high-profile parents such as Michael Gove and former Commons Speaker John Bercow, as well as families from Grenfell.
But things have changed rapidly in the past few months.
A general view of Holland Park School which has undergone an £80million rebuild.

UK’s 'strictest headmistress' fears schools will stop teaching Shakespeare
Katherine Birbalsingh says we are following America, where Shakespeare has already been 'lost' from many schools.
The headteacher of a school described as the strictest in Britain has warned that William Shakespeare will disappear from classrooms as schools in England come under pressure to decolonise and diversify the curriculum.
Reading lists for GCSE and A-level English literature and drama have recently been broadened to include more black and minority ethnic writers, and campaigners have called for black history to be fully embedded in the curriculum.
Asked about decolonising the curriculum, Birbalsingh said: "I think that dead white men have something to offer us. Shakespeare has been influencing literature for over 400 years. It’s right to teach Shakespeare. The ideas in Shakespeare are universal."
