Hundreds of students in Sheffield gathered outside Nick Clegg's office earlier today to voice their opinions on the review's finding and remind him of the pre-election pledge to "resist, vote against and campaign against any lifting of the cap".

In Birmingham, students joined together to ‘say no’ to the removal of a cap on fees in a protest earlier today outside the University Library, Edgbaston Campus.

Hundreds of students turned out to tell the government NOT to take Browne’s proposals forward, believing they would create a barrier to higher education.
