I wish Corbyn would ask Paxman if he still considered himself a 'one nation Tory'

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.
Corbyn is doing very well so far. May must be sweating a bit by now.
A proper Tory this guy is 
Yep, solid start- he gets loads of time with the answers though, agree the Paxman part will be more interesting. There is no way he will underperform May in either section though, so don't think Labour has much to worry about here.
Ah the old any corporate tax rise is unacceptable line
simply brilliant asking the Mancunian what he wants.
Fairness to all.
Fairness to all.

Good so far, I grudgingly admit.
Tories: "How does this affect me?"
Labour: "How does this affect everyone?"
Labour: "How does this affect everyone?"
Corbyn forever.
You might be right.
If so I may need our Ubik to give me some depressing regional statistics, by the end of this, to stop me getting carried away and falling in to hope.
He always try to deflect the nuclear question with a cyberattacks segway.
Don't really agree with the banning on zero hour contracts.
Thought he did well there.
I felt Corbyn did quite well there actually. Should more personality in that 10 mins than May has the entire election.

Classic pull up the drawbridge tekkers. Corbyn is smashing it so far, hopefully he comes across positively with Paxman.
Corbyn did well on the audience bit. As I thought he would.
Faisal Islam got the balance right, I thought. Applied further scrutiny at times, by going back to the person who asked the question, but without interrupting.
Doing well so far. Keep it up Jezza!
Overall, he did well. Not the most challenging questions I don't think, but came across well. Read online that they were briefed of the questions beforehand? If so, should expect May to at least do okay as well.
In a nutshell. That Manchester fella is a selfish wanker. Somehow I'm sure his children will survive.
Paxman reminds me of the bosses in Golden Axe, laughing in the background until the minions get beaten, then they stop laughing and get the sledgehammers ready for our hero.
It's a difficult one. Clearly there are situations where zero hour contracts are desired and make sense for both parties, but there's been an explosion in people who shouldn't be on them and employers who are using them to back up appalling practices.
What channel is this on?
Even if thats the case Corbyn comes off better as people realise he's not the crazed lunatic they've been told he was.
I've yet to see May do one good interview though
Should have realised that I suppose.
Yeah I guess if they weren't briefed then May wouldn't have turned up
Corbyn man be stronger, go over to Paxman and chin him
His comedy/camp start to the Paxman section is an odd choice.
I agree. Surely some sort of compromise could be done though? Outright banning seems a step too far for me.
This is getting more interesting now.
Neither Jeremy is going to come out of this well.
I'm as red as they come however I agree. But a higher minimum wage for anyone working under a flexible work contract may be more appropriate. The Aussies have something similar
Wierd start to this, not bad, just wierd
Building societies are owned by the members, not government, and only RBS is part-government owned- the others aren't, like he claimed.
Debates usually have minimal effect on the eventual outcome if it helps
Though maybe a fertile ground for it being different today with May's previous good reputation in doubt, and people seeing Corbyn as a genial old fellow.
