I read the Wes Streeting quote from the article:

"It's about time we got the student movement going again and had an impact."

That's not what he was saying a few weeks ago. What a knob!

Hi Clare – how goes it? Brilliant SOAS kicking off the occupation movement, and I’m sure you had something to do with it! I started a blog on Gaza and related matters a couple of weeks ago. Going to put your comment from the man uni blog about the UJS statement on my blog today. Hope that’s ok comrade. Gary McFarlane

Also Streeting and NUS claim they were misquoted - I rang them with my journo hat on. Report here:
