Our MyfutureBack campaign covered in the Guardian

13 February: The Guardian interviews Sir Stephen Timms MP, who has been supporting the students and working closely with our #MyFutureBack campaign. He speaks of how distressing it is to see this miscarriage of justice. “The figure of 97% seemed absurd. It was completely implausible.

Thousands of students saw their lives destroyed by false allegations of cheating.
