Well yeah, we're 4 years and 8 months before the next election. Why would there be detailed costing of anything right now?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Telegraph hack.
Because Labour has a deficit of trust with regard to the economy, and must earn back the confidence of the electorate. They can't spend the next 3-4 years with widespread uncertainty surrounding the basis of their intentions.
Oh god this guy's gonna cry
Patriot.. moron more like.
Whatever you think of McDonnell's more dodgy views and comments, there's something sort of refreshing about a politician who's perfectly willing to hold their hands up and admit past mistakes without any added bullshit defences. Even if he is going to be a car crash.
I think McDonnell comes across very well. The more people see of him the more they'll like him.
feck it I'm joining Sandy's party, don't know much about them but I like her.
That line about food banks exaggerates the total by half a million i believe. Not that the benefits system doesn't require reform so as to alleviate the issue mine.
He did right at the end, still try to justify it. I highly doubt whether we'd have heard that apology were it not now politically expedient to do so.

fecking hell, this Telegraph guy is a cnut.
Probably not, but then no one would really care if he'd made it while not being politically relevant.
That doesn't say much for the substance of his apology then does it.
McDonnell can't help but try to justify what he did, his apologies are starting to ring a little hollow already.
This edition has been all over the place tonight.
Was always going to be the case with McDonnell on it. I'm interested to see what it's like when they've got Labour people on who are fairly opposed to Corbyn, and to what extent they'll support/stand up for him.
Well that guy was fresh off the conveyor from the Stupid Factory.
Missed this tonight. Has Tim Stanley been his pretentious, arrogant, weasel-like self?
"We care about all the refugees, so we'll only take 20,000, because someone decided that sounds like a good number" fecking cnut.
Pretty much. Comes across as a really smug guy who thinks his opinions carry a lot more weight than they actually do.
He's an arsehole.
"We're also only taking 20,000 because the media pressured us into doing something." Liz Truss sounds like a robot when talking about the whole situation.
I want to kick him every time he speaks.
A foot would really suit his mouth.
Stanley was the only one to raise the matter of the conflict in Syria itself, for all that you have criticised him.
Even when the guy from the Telegraph says something sort of sensible he's still hard to like.
It's Al!
Studies politics -- yep, he's a cnut.
Yeah that'll be interesting.
Agree about McDonnell as well. I found his explanations credible. I think Corbyn was right to give him Chancellor, it would have been a massive sell out to give the economy job to a mainstream MP. This guy believes it in his soul, he's as committed as Corbyn to all the ideas that got all his supporters so excited in the first place.
Wow, that was chilling
We're not just doing it to be nice, as he said, which came across as incredibly patronising; as if anyone who supports refugees is just doing so to give themselves a pat on the back.
This young chap is a bit of a cnut isn't he.
Yeah, but he got suspended from school for not singing the national anthem. Absolute badass.
Jingoism.
Liz Truss is annoying, she has this smug look just as she's about start some more point scoring with a cheap jibe.
If the only thing Corbyn ever manages to achieve is he gets the National Anthem changed, I'd be satisfied.
Telegraph guy is a smarmy shit but I agreed with virtually everything he said.
On the other hand as much as I like Tosvig almost everything she said was nonsensical, reminded me of Russell Brand.

Is tonight's worth watching then?
I'd say so. I enjoyed it.
More interesting than usual, and it had Sandy Toksvig. If those things appeal to you, then yes.
