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.
Maybe, it's an important admission though.
In her speech in front of Downing St. But it appeared as more of a threat of ‘what could happen if you don’t let me pass this’.
Process certainly is taking its toll on Arlene Foster. Looking rough earlier.
Not simple at all. No-one knows what happens then.
Almost certainly a new prime minister. Then who knows.
We likely leave the EU on WTO terms and the economy tanks.
The Fixed Term Parliaments Act means that only an official vote of no confidence or two-thirds of MPs can lead to a General Election.
Even if May is replaced there won't be a GE officially until 2022.

What?
Best I’ve ever seen her look tbh.
This, she looks fresher.
The agreement is a bit strange because there is too much direct references to EU regulations. I don't see how a genuine brexiteer wouldn't be triggered.
New: Understand Opposition Leader @jeremycorbyn is meeting the PM now privately in the Commons on Brexit Deal.
Back to square one by tomorrow or will she make it to the weekend?
With all the shenanigans the Tories pulled in the last GE, I’m really struggling to get past the idea that they really did look to throw all this over to Corbyn to deal with. They knew the complexities and knew it was an impossible task and they were willing Labour to be the ones who fell on this particular sword.
Honestly I don't know, from the first article about citizens status to the last one, they basically used current EU laws and practices. If there are genuine brexiteers out there then this is the worst thing possible outside of cancelling the all thing.
From a political point of view I don't really understand it.
Surely she can’t have been running a long con, and planning for a second referendum this whole time. Can she..?
May has had a difficult job, but surely her deciding to trigger article 50 early on despite seemingly having put in little to no thought in the deal they want. It also seems like they didn't consider the Ireland border as an issue before it came up in the negotiations.
An awful lot of time wasted really.
Feck knows what will happen.

The fixed snarl is gone. Much better.
Damn it feels good to have someone with common sense leading your country. We are still fecked because of your countryside folk, but at least we have someone fighting out corner.
Can't see how Brexiters are going to accept it. Basically it's BINO because, as we know, NI is impossible to solve and that's why it has come to this, leaving but not really.
But as most have said all along the only alternatives to this are Remain or jump off the cliff and May seems to have actually finally realised this.
then it's no deal and most probably a general election. It might be the DUP end their parliamentary support for being sold out by May. #DisMay

I think quite a few Labour MPs, many of those from leave constituencies will end up backing the deal. I think most the Tories will grudgingly or otherwise back it, apart from the hardcore leavers.
From a remain perspective, it seem like it might be ok. Seems we're still strongly aligned to the EU, crucially for things like employment and environmental regulations. We won't have a say in those laws, but then the UK is generally one of the countries pushing for business over people laws anyway. It's definitely worse than staying in the EU, that much is obvious, but its a case of stick or twist. A hell of a lot needs to happen for the UK to stay in the EU, a lot less needs to happen to leave with a worse or no deal at all.

An interesting point is that the document for the withdrawal is 585 pages but the document for a future relationship is only 7... So there's still a lot more life left in this thread. 
There is no coalition
??? Didn't May need the DUP to have a majority after the election? Coalition is when there are people in the cabinet?

The Sun's front page for tomorrow:
"We're in the Brexs*it"
"We're in the Brexs*it"
Confidence and Supply agreement on certain votes. DUP are not in the Cabinet at all. Not a coalition

OK, my mistake
You are welcome!

EXCL: Understand No 10 has told opposition parties they are likely to allow amendments to be voted on BEFORE meaningful vote. Potential game-changer.

Does that mean the UK-EU agreement is sealed from the UK side? Rees-Mogg can now focus on other issues like raising his children and arguing with poldark
Not at all
Probably may goes but then there is a conservative leadership election NOT a general election
New leader... Probably Johnson or mogg etc will leave without a deal
Only way there is a ge is loosing a formal no confidence vote or 2/3 of MP's vote for an early election
Dup would probably back no deal and a new conservative leadership would probably have it in their mandade from the party so would carry almost all.conservative votes... Plus some hardcore labour leave
Much more likley than a ge I think
There was something a few pages ago about the folks from UK needing a Visa to visit the EU. Has that been confirmed yet?
The proposal protects the rights of both EU citizens in the Uk and vice-versa. Assuming the UK stays in the customs union, nothing should change.
Hard Brexit? Yeah, Visa needed.
Morning has started with some cnut that no one has ever heard of resigning.
Meant to be something to do with N Ireland but I’m guessing he could barely find it on the map. Thought it was Karen Bradley when I read the headline.
