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.
That wasn't what it was at all - you already have to pay for your social care if your assets are above £23,250.
So feck all's changed in the reshuffle then? Kin' pointless.
Poor tories.
Still, nice for the media to go ape-shit in the other direction for a change
May must be kicking herself that there wasn't multiple opportunities for her to speak directly to people and explain the policy better. If only!
If only she had a chance to significantly change the policy and "own" the changes as her listening to the people
Theresa May and the "Naylor report! What you need to know!
I'm really hoping that is the policy Corbyn focuses on when PMQs comes around again. Particularly given it seems to be business as usual with Hunt staying on
That was the worst re-shuffle since i got drunk and threw an unopened deck of cards out the window.
I've been trying to make this joke for the last hour but couldn't quite get the wording right.
I wasn't surprised that Osborne/May didn't particularly get on, but seeing the utter contempt he has for her has been quite revealing. You'd almost think he'd have preferred Corbyn to her!
Interesting. But did he not know when the tories came to power or is that a joke?
i retyped that about 6 times and it was still shit.
yes, closest I got to was that she shuffles like somehow who didn't take the deck out of the box, it's so bad.I'm a bit torn on the naylor report. The King's fund (who I generally trust) seem quite positive about it. But I've got a few friends in nhs finance who are aghast at it. I work in general management in the NHS and there are buildings that that just wouldn't be worth the investment or time to get back upto scratch. Seems sensible to sell them offm
very good interview.
It's the worst shuffle since my paraplegic uncle tried the charleston
Cnut as Health Sec again the absolute fecking state of the Tories
the absolute fecking state of the ToriesThat video was posted a while back.
Scotland was certainly close.
A lot of previously impregnable looking majorities have been whittled down a lot, too. Though they still topped 40% which is a lot in a genuine 3.5 party election.
Osborne has been in full banter mode for the last week or so!
e.g.
e.g.
Who is the .5
And in Lanark & Hamilton East, the three parties had over 30% of the vote each (0.7% between them).
There were a ton of close battles across the country. My constituency had a few hundred votes in it and didn't even make the top five. Although interestingly as a result, it does feel like votes really matter up here at the moment.
I agree but who replaces her? Rudd nearly lost her seat so it's hard to see how she can have the authority to lead the party and the country. Alistair Campbell made the point of Boris being an act which people see through now, and that the '£350m a week for the NHS' slogan will stick with him. Other than those two who is there? Gove, Hammond, Fallon aren't liked enough I don't think. Possibly David Davis?
It's amazing how far the Tories have crumbled since Theresa May called the election. Prior to that there were talks of the Tories being in Government until 2025-2030 with an unassailable lead over Labour. All that has disappeared now and they are the ones in chaos. Really has been an amazing 7 weeks in UK politics.
Libs! Alas 7.8% of the vote when three others top 25% means they have to be a rung down, though they were efficient in seat terms.Who is the .5
Also just saw that the SNP didn't top 40% after all, only 36.9%.
A swing of around 4% or so from SNP to Tories and they'd have won up here.
Labour as well, only just behind Tories on 27 in the end!
Gove's been made environment secretary.
Fantastic appointment - Gove's extensive period of time spent as a lizard means he has a great understanding of environmental issues.
Always appropriate in times like this.
Cnut as Health Sec again
I'm absolutely convinced they're trying to lose the government so inevitable Brexit failure isn't pinned to the Tories for 20 years.
They couldn't have tried any harder to lose it during the campaign and somehow still failed (thanks only to the Press who wanted to keep them on).
Now she makes no changes and jumps into bed with the terrorists. Setting up for a loss in the next election she calls in a couple of months.
So many Remains in the reshuffle I'm half-expecting we'll end up staying in Europe...
She still hasn't passed the Queens speech. If your theory is right Corbyn could be pm at the end of the month.
I'll never get tired of that
Always appropriate in times like this.
It really was the worst policy sell of all time. The thing is they started saying difficult choices had to be made and thats why they'd done it then after that stuck they decided to say oh no actually its better than now.
What i never saw discussed is the cost implication
Yes.
Always appropriate in times like this.
The old system, the £23k doesnt include someone's house until you are are in a care home.
The new system, the house is included straight away. So it does make things worse for many people.
