University protesters occupy new building and set out demands as bosses set 4pm deadline

The protesters occupying several University of Manchester (UoM) buildings have left two facilities, but taken over another one, as they set out their demands to bosses.

Last night, members of the UoM Rent Strike group ‘gained unauthorised access to the Simon Building’, a spokesperson for the university said. They also confirmed that the protesters had left the Engineering Building and Samuel Alexander humanities centre.
