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.'
