General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time

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.
Tories will shut the loop hole when they use it to win the election. They won't like the fact the party with the richest donors can use it to their advantage.
Oh wait.
I just can't stand any candidate. I think this is called getting old.
I just went on my fb. Fist political status I saw was someone sharing a vid with Piers Morgans saying "Agree with Piers, if you don't like how we live then feck off back where you from"
I wish Facebook had a filter to filter everyone's political ramblings. Thoughrougly fed up of it from both sides.

Oh not this again. fecking hell.
Should have closed all drinking establishments last night -- have all telcos auto-set mobile phones to have an alarm set for 8am to ensure most people vote -- you know who you are!
Couple of interesting things from Jim Waterson (tweet it's linking in second one is the first one if that makes sense):
Typical.
Skirting the edge of electoral fraud and prominently featuring Dianne Abbott
I went to bed in June 2015 hearing from the final poll that there would be no Tory majority and June 2016 hearing we would be staying in the EU.
Polling is definitely broken when ICM have a 12 point Conservative lead and Survation a <1 point lead
I wish they'd bring back entrails and tea leaves. Would be more fun to watch on the news.

Can someone recommend a reliable poll tracker for my ward?
Anyone voting for Greg Knight is what i want to know?!?
Voted. xo
Come on now, it's not like people become less stupid just because there's an election on.
My guess is a big Tory majority as youth once again fails to turn out. Tories >370
Everyone should vote, and everyone should enter our prediction competition here: https://goo.gl/forms/zY8rC7n5ZTIuG3PI2
Closes at 5pm, and I will give a link to everyone's prediction after it closes.

I've just done the school run and it's unbelievable what I've heard this morning. One woman who I know who relies on top up from the gift has said Tories will protect her benefits so she won't have to do more hours. I burst out laughing
Wouldn't call 370 a big majority. But I am going with 27.
Poor deluded people
370 would be a majority of 90, that's pretty large...
A minimum of +90 over the field seems substantial enough to me. Would take 45 revolting along with a unified opposition to derail anything at all.
That's the nerdiest thing ever. I love it.
They'll be out shortly after the polls close at 10.
Overheard two old'ns talking about the village being full of (insert slur that rhymes with cogs) 'these days'. Not sure what planet they're on as even the guy who runs the curry house is so white, if the light from their neon sign catches him at the right angle, it looks like the place is haunted.
What have they got against the French?
It's as if they think some person who gets paid 80 quid to count votes is somehow going to be involved in electoral fraud, by rubbing out votes. Like really.
Has this been posted already? Don't want to flood the thread with shite but this is great.
two reasons, most tory voters don't admit it, as genrally you get a lot of grief for admitting your voting tory.
And second most of the tory vote are of a generation that isn't active of social media.
Not sure if someone's already posted it, but this is great.

Voted. Unfortunately don't see anything happening other than a Tory win & the strong & stable robot being more assured than ever that she has a mandate to feck over the country. But miracles are possible, the twat across the Atlantic proved that.
I hope voter turnout is decent.

You do and I've never understood that. I've never voted Tory myself, have always voted Labour but there's a real nasty, aggressive attitude taken by some Labour voters (doesn't really happen with Lib Dems or Greens etc) that that emits almost a hatred of anyone who disagrees with them politically. You see it on social media. I don't think they realise how utterly alienating and off-putting that is to people and how pathetic it makes them look.
My Twitter and FB feeds, with the demographics you mentioned, full of 'If you vote Tory you're a ****', and other such insinuations. There's a real maturity issue among a minority of Labour voters that shows the party up every election and some really struggle with the idea that political disagreement isn't the same as being evil. You don't really get the same level of animosity from voters of other parties, SNP maybe aside.
This. Everyone I've spoke to that is voting Tory are currently saying things like 'o I don't know', When it's clear they will be voting Tory when they get to the box.
I think alot of it boils down to some (and I say some) that vote Tory think of it like a status thing, in that if they vote Tory it some how makes them of a higher status than the regular Labour voter which is a load of crap. There are a few people I work with that think like this. Don't have a clue about politics but think that if they vote Tory they are regarded higher.
I've decided to actually scroll through my FB feed today and probably will continue to today. Saw two Labour voters with some rather pleasant statuses. Not had any feck off if you voted Tory yet.
It's like another planet over here, I don't think there's any shy DUP voters and they've got all the Tory DNA with fundamental Christian values thrown in.
Hope my area stays Labour...it was one of the tightest ones in the country last time if I recall correctly (something like Labour over Tories by 2000 votes) so not sure how it will go down. Our MP Paula Sherriff is generally well liked though, so I think she will retain.
