Woke students have forced Liverpool University to rebrand an accommodation block named after William Gladstone because of his family s links to slavery.
Gladstone Halls will be renamed after racial inequality campaigner Dorothy Kuya, who was the city s first community slavery officer.
But the move has caused fury among members of the faculty, with politics professor Dr David Jeffrey slamming the decision as shameful .
He added: Liverpool University is shamefully going ahead with renaming Gladstone Hall. Named after one of our greatest Prime Ministers and one of Liverpool s most consequential political exports. He worked for the abolition of slavery and never owned slaves himself.
Seven new Deputy Lieutenants were announced for Gloucestershire on Tuesday. They will support the Lord-Lieutenant during Royal visits to the county, promote voluntary service and take an interest in local business, industry and the social life of the county. Deputy Lieutenants also oversee Citizenship Ceremonies, where individuals become British citizens. Announcing the new appointments, Lord-Lieutenant Edward Gillespie OBE said: “It is a real privilege to welcome seven exceptional people to our Lieutenancy. I am sure that each of them will make a substantial contribution to the many communities that make this such a wonderful place to live, learn and work.”

The topic of race equality is far too often perceived as contentious - but it is one that cannot, and should not, be ignored.
As we commemorate Stephen Lawrence Day, and the incredible work that Baroness Lawrence has carried out, it is crucial we consider the intrinsic importance of education and the necessity of advancing race equality in our education institutions and beyond.
Despite currently living in Hampstead and graduating with a master’s degree from Cambridge University, I originally derive from a working-class, single parent family of Black Caribbean heritage.
