Labour peer Maurice Glasman to student anger over his anti-immigration rhetoric
Controversial Labour peer Maurice Glasman will face student anger today over his anti-immigration rhetoric when he speaks at a National Union of Students (NUS) conference.
A row has been raging among the union's leaders since Mr Glasman was invited to speak at an event in Manchester to promote student activism.
Mr Glasman has argued that Labour should embrace English Defence League thugs and called for a total freeze on immigration.
