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.
They should put Dianne Abbott out of her misery.
It's sad at this point. It's like mocking the homeless.
She's so far out of her depth. I've heard she's a great mp but this front bench lark isn't for her.

I don't know any Labour supporter who from the start didn't want her given a less important role.
Its a shame as she gives the impression the Labour bench is as idiotic as the Tories. The Tories have several idiots but it doesnt matter if you have one of your own
"Gosh, well, nobody is ever perfectly behaved are they? I supposed it would have to be the time I snorted an absolutely ridiculous line of ketamine off an African gentleman's erection while my husband was asleep in the next room".
Why are we suddenly pretending the bar to be on the front bench is somehow sky high? Boris got sacked by the Times after making up a quote, "relieved of his duties” as shadow arts minister for lying about an affair, referred to Africa’s “watermelon smiles” and “flag-waving piccanninies”, accused President Obama of being anti-British because of the country’s colonial history and that 'blacks' had low IQs. All that and dozen 'joke' gaffes still apparently deemed him worthy of the small role of Foreign Secretary and, without Gove stabbing him in the back after Brexit, almost certainly Prime Minister.
Im sure Kuessenberg will be on it any minute now. She's impartial afterall
This is not fake
Absolutely and anyone who claims otherwise only criticises her because they're sexist. Or something.
The reduction in police numbers begs a few questions. The country had not suddenly become crime free so who took over some the work of the police - private security firms ? Are or were any ministers or MPs non-executive directors in any of those firms ? Why do some politicians insist that things (education, NHS etc ) can be cheaper and just as good or even better and that the market will take care of almost everything without state intervention or control ?
That's an indictment of this country and the Tories.
It still does not mean Labour have to stick Abbott on the front benches.
This is not fake
Jesus christ, I was waiting for the Chorley FM plug and a cameo by Max and Paddy.
"I'm very clear about being very clear."
This is not fake
that music.......... thats hilarious!
So they've sent out Boris Johnson to do the dirty work of throwing around absurd Daily Mail attack lines
I mean he actually insinuated that we need to be concerned about communism

Vote Greeeegggg Knnnnnnnnniiiiiight.It's catchy.
What a fecking walkover
This can't be true.
Given the state of the respective campaigns, my prediction would see the result fall in a range of -10 to +15 in terms of the Conservative tally. Labour recognised the value of positivity in its message, whereas May has adopted a spirit of 'take your medicine'.
During the 2005 election i knew that Labour would maintain a healthy majority, however my local constituency was genuinely up for grabs so there was still the potential for a personal victory if you will. The Government was increasingly unpopular at the time, while i was young and rather...reactionary.
Yes, i'll be here, although an exit poll with a Corbyn overall majority might lead me to reach for the brandy.
This is not fake
You just know Greg watched this before it was released and said, "Ooh, this is spot on, this is going to go down great on the Sociality Mediums".
While Boris took care of part 1, today's edition of 'Imagine if this was Diane Abbott" has a part 2.
Shes almost our trump
This can't be true.
Tory max 342 seats... If yougovs model is correct i will kiss them
Crap, I passed that on to people at work! What's the real figure?
Blimey.
If YouGov's model is correct I will jizz more than wr8 did during the Sneijder summer.
IIRC, my first DLA was backdated by three months. This was prior to the crash and later austerity mind you, but bridging that lag time seems to have been an issue for a while. If such is an unavoidable consequence of processing, we need to contrive an interim measure in line with modern society.
The Conservative manifesto also says that they will continue the 'housing first' pilots for homelessness prevention, which should also help. Although maybe we should be past the pilot stage by now.
It's been said many times on the internet but Corbyn is the boy
We've repeatedly been told Corbyn is a complete non-entity when it comes to British politics. In completely unrelated news, suddenly the arms dealing vicar's daughter believes "tough conversations are required" over funding of extremism. Which the non-entity definitely didn't say in a speech the other day and is also not in his party's manifesto.
Sick of both Labour and the Tories, regardless of who gets in it'll just be the same old problems.
Care to elaborate on which problems those are?
Now more than ever before there are stark differences between the two parties. This Labour manifesto is much farther left than anything I've seen in my lifetime from either of the big two.
Anyone seen the stuff about what's going on in Bradford West? Seems pretty grim (thread)
At a hustings recently, after Shah had defended the right of Israel to exist, part of the audience started chanted "jew, jew, jew" at her.

Same for North Dorset here, the MP is a total cnut who's not even from the area, but it's one of the safest seats around. I see plenty of conservatives signs everywhere I go and have never seen a Labour or LD sign anywhere. Even UKIP finished second here last time
but I haven't seen a UKIP sign anywhere this time around either.
