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.
Well sort of, although until we have a ballpark on the potential cap it is a completely meaningless U-Turn (except, as you say, the damage to credibility). I mean for all we know the cap could be 100s of thousands.
This is actually a good idea
Yeah that's true, can you picture the absolute state of CCHQ right now trying to figure out what's acceptable to their voters and what figure on their budget they can blag
Wasn't planning on watching these Andrew Neil interviews but tonight's may be amazing.
Trouble is that would be a rival power base, those three in particular.
And it requires them to say yes.
My bet on Corbyn is going well. Put £500 down last night and £571 to cashout already. Holding out for 100 quid. Just need Jezza to keep his mouth shut for about 24 hours and I'm sorted!
Edit: Just cashed it out for £116 profit. Cheers Jezza!

And where's that money coming from, Labour's money tree or further borrowing? The rise in private car firms suggests that you'll need a lot to even bring it up to an acceptable standard.
That's fantastic work
Tory campaign has been so poor. Frustrates me so much how there's been no opposition to their Brexit position since the referendum. They clearly have no conviction in their positions - if you attack them in a way that highlights how they hurt the 'average man' (as opposed to the benefit class/ immigrants, alas) they seem to fall apart.
Corbyn has run a good campaign. He's doing better in the polls then most people assumed, he's winning back a lot of the Green/ Lib Dem voters that his original leadership campaign said he would. But his performance on Brexit has been appalling, and a stronger Labour leader likely would have been the difference between leave and remain. I shouldn't expect someone so opposed to capitalism to be the final saviour of the world's largest free trade block, but I can't help but see it as such an avoidable catastrophe.

A bitter remoaner

Its great to see the Theresa May halo slipping though. Her popularity will surely be on the floor in 2-3 years.
Every time I see Corbyn speak he is very impressive. So very different from the picture that the majority of the media paints of him.
I'm going to be voting Labour and I feel good about doing it.

There's still some mileage in the "Europe is out to kill us" speech yet.
Tonight's interview could be a big thing, if she's composed and appears in control then she regains some of the narrative, but do badly and it amplifies the chaos of the last weekend.
Polls are interesting as well, seems to be very little change among the over 65s, its the middle aged bracket that's swung.
For the first time during this general election, it looks as though Labour may have a chance of winning

They can just take it from the Tory money tree.
Tories can't claim ownership of strong and stable or fiscal responsibility when the manifesto changes by billions within days.
Well done. I've been recording all my bets for 20 years, and unfortunately politics is the one subject I've been absolutely pasted on, despite following it more closely than the others. My nerve's gone on it!
Seriously if the media don't cover all these feckups prominently then i want to hear nothing from you lot about conspiracy media bias
You can call it my bias but look at Kuessenbergs twitter and the wordings , May is clarifying, angry, partial U-Turn and repeats in quotes claims they didnt. Wordings associated to Corbyn on the story Corbyns 'Fantasy Manifesto', Corbyn fake news.
BBC webpage is "T.May changes social care proposals". Subheading is her revising it.
Where's the clanger peices?

Shouldn't be able to. But can.
You don't actually think Corbyn is a terrorist sympathiser, do you ?
Who was the journo who asked May if she was "weak and wobbly"? Give that man a medal!

I can't find the full video anywhere, but I saw it on the Independent FB page https://www.facebook.com/TheIndependentOnline/
It's the one title 'May destroyed over dementia tax'.
Channel 4's Michael Crick.Who was the journo who asked May if she was "weak and wobbly"?
Cheers. It's nice to see the press giving her a bit of the Corbyn treatment for a change.
He's pretty good at getting under people's skin. It worked particularly well with Paul Nuttall when he was running for Stoke.
It didn't disturb his undercover career in the CIA though.
*Applied to register.
90k is nothing over 650 constituencies.
If only he'd made sure the coast was clear before he came out of that phonebooth in the Superman costume.
She doesn't have a clue.
Corbyn isn't a leader but she is?
What it is that is going to make people actually vote Tory?
2.5 million total as of saturday, around three quarters under 25.
Corbyn polls above 60% for that age group.
And every poll, without exception, weights against young respondents because they traditionally do not vote. In other words, you are not seeing the consequences of that surge in voters within the polls at all.
