I feared the heavy rain had put people off the Gaza protest. It may have delayed people slightly but we were 40 strong by half way through. And support from pedestrians and drivers was as strong as ever. Free Palestine!

Leicester management want to cut 150 jobs and wipe out entire departments. Leicester UCU Staff and students are standing together to stop this destruction. Members are striking from the week of 10 Nov and taking to the streets on 12 Nov. Join us in Leicester.

Although hard to see now the night comes early we were the light in the darkness. And making plenty of noise for those who couldn’t see. End the genocide, stop the starvation, free Palestine!

Until we see real change we will keep campaigning. Bring out your pots & pans (and lights at this time of year). I’ll see you at the station.

Tonight’s pots & pans demo was noisy and uplifting. Put the date of the Elbit demo in your diary to shut down the Israeli arms trade in the UK.

University of Leicester UCU began a further fortnight of strike action today. The Exit sign is for the senior leadership of the university, not the staff. Get down to a picket line if you can and let’s make the rally a big event.

After a truly awesome demo, acknowledgments are in order. First, thanks to the UCL UCU branch, Chris Pritchard (one of our NEC reps), the Leicester District Trades Union, the DMU UCU branch, and University of Nottingham UCU branch branch for their solidarity. When we fight, we don't fight alone.

Picketing is off tomorrow due to the weather. Why not spend your time instead persuading you branch to make a donation and send a message of support? uculeicester.org.uk/leicester-ucu-…

The L&DTUC banner was Curve for the performance of We Are The Lions, Mr Manager along with Leicester Stand Up To Racism. A great night with a long standing ovation and plenty of interaction at the stall.

There is no real ceasefire. Get out your pots and pans and make a noise at the station. End the genocide, stop starvation, and free Palestine!

It was cold and breezy for the hardy souls who turned out. But the reception from the public was truly heartwarming. Stop the starvation, end the genocide, free Palestine!
