Students at the University of Manchester say they have occupied a fourth building on campus this evening as part of an ongoing 'rent strike'.

It comes after the group 'UoM Rent Strike 2023' occupied three buildings last week. They are calling for university leaders to meet their demands, which include a 30% rent reduction, and to meet the demands of UCU strikers.
