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.
But Remain would definitely win if there was one, right?
Sorry I missed a few, this one was on top of the twitter page and I assumed it was the only one.
I cannot see any remain/leave one from this poll at least.
TBH I think the previous thread title had it right - the confusion in parliament mirrors the confusion of the public.
Overwhelmingly I would imagine. Not only do we see regret from leavers who realise they were lied to the entire campaign and that still on pretty much deadline day the government have no fecking idea what they're doing, but now 1.4 million new young people are eligible to vote on their future since the last referendum in a country where if the youth actually voted, Labour would win by a landslide and if the youth bothered to vote last time, remain would have won. Given everything that's happened over the last two years, not difficult to imagine that more disenfranchised youth would vote.
Well Tony Blair's been banging the drum for a second referendum again on the telly today. Maybe Jeremy should contact him for a bit of advice?
You should Tweet him and let him know.
If they don't extend and vote may deal, I really want to see which lie(s) they will tell when they will revoke A50.
There is no way UK goes No deal in 10 days

'Unfortunately as the house repeatedly voted down my amazing deal time and time again we weren't able to carry out the will of the British older generation. Please don't blame me for never changing the same shitty deal I kept bringing back, blame them for not accepting garbage. And don't blame my party for spearheading the biggest legal undertaking in our history without a plan to begin with, that's definitely a sensible thing to do, instead focus on Corbyn being friends with terrorists who will eat your children with a side of curvy EU bananas.'
Plus, make them pay 350 million per week.
Step 1: extend article 50
Step 2: fail to come up with a deal
Step 3: new referendum
Step 4: remain.
And then we can put this embarrassing fiasco behind us forever and pretend it never happened.

Common sense would point to the Remain vote winning, however as we've seen the Leave camp are incredibly vocal and supportive and will turn out in their droves to back Leave in the polls.
I don't know who will be the one to rally the people into voting Remain. The Tory's won't be doing that, and Corbyn isn't campaigning for Remain either. Not sure which of the more prominent figures will stand up, and more importantly get the required press coverage needed. All of Boris, JRM, Gove, etc., will be all over the TV and front pages - unless Labour changes their stance and throw their full weight behind the Remain camp I wouldn't be certain that Remain wins, or at least not by the margin it should do (in my opinion). People will again be complacent and think 'everyone else will vote Remain so why should I bother?', same as the initial vote, which we cannot afford. It must be drummed into everyone that every single vote matters, and it needs more than a few cross party MPs the public may not recognize to be the ones campaigning, and pointing out the lies and BS spread by the Leave camp.
So it sounds like she will ask for a short extension. Bad decision.
If MPs fail to agree her deal by June and we havent run the European elections we (and the EU) will be in all sorts of trouble.

She's such a weak cnut. Leadsom is pulling the strings now.
I'm not sure whether she's hiding and sending her cronies out or they're scurrying out to win favour for the leadership. Leadsom was on LBC and it certainly sounded like her vying for the leadership.

Jesus !
Agreed. May is finished, they just aren’t in a position for a leadership challenge or GE. Leadsom is being propped up by the ERG.
One of the most stupidest answers I've heard. Well done
And yet you manage to outdo me. Congratulations.
I mean here we are, 9 days from the ultimate brexit fiasco, and you post a EU politician outlining his vision of Europe and comment it "jesus!" as if it were somehow relevant or even a topic within the EU at the moment.

Do people actually like Verhofstadt? Something about him that just rubs me up the wrong way. Barnier and Tusk though, great guys.
My understanding is that he isn't really liked and the fact that he is a federalist doesn't help.
I don't like or dislike him much, but I expect him to come up with an opinion as to how to make the EU more effective / more beneficial for it's members. He's arguing his case as to how he thinks that is done, there will be others who disagree. He won't be able to change anything without going the well trodden out path of change within the EU though... convincing other's that it's the best path (and for these plans he'd have to convince all 27 future member states governments), so whether you like him, his ideas, or not, there's no need for jesus to get involved.

She might be 'finished' but until this fiasco is over she probably will stay in power. Clearly nobody else wants to take leadership while this shitshow is going on. It's why she keeps surviving these no confidence votes whilst her deals get unanimously rejected and she's called incompetent.
Blair says everything Corbyn should be saying. Instead Corbyn is at the Kebab Awards
All the relevant politicians on the EU side, Verhofstadt, Juncker, Barnier, Tusk (maybe slightly better) etc., are dislikeable conservative neoliberal politicians.
They have a solid stand on Brexit, don't get me wrong, can't fault them on that, especially with the way Britain is behaving.
But the glorification of them certainly rubs me the wrong way, as their policies damage the European idea more than their claims to promote it.

9 days from Brexit and he thinks that's a good idea
. How can anyone really think he has any interest in being PM? He just wants to be a thorn in the establishment's side.I reckon the last 2 years has done a better job of that than any campaign could ever do.
Labour's requesting an emergency debate today.
Soft loo roll or hard loo roll
Yes very true, the EU will never be changed from the inside, after all "turkeys don't vote for Christmas" and at every level the EU, the commission in particular, is stuffed with them (forgive the pun). Only outside pressure from other big trading blocks USA, China, etc 'upping' their game, or breakaways like Brexit (if it happens) has a realistic chance of getting the EU to change. Maybe if majority voting became the norm in the EU that might help?

You'd have thought after the referendum debates he'd have learned to stay out of this. Good for business to pop up every now and again to maintain himself as an influential expert though.
Too hard a decision, can we have an extension please (to the debate not the loo roll!)?
Jeez...
Well they wanted Corbyn but he was judging kebabs
All options remain on the table and will take a decision in 2033.
See earlier posts.. Tony Blair to become the poster boy for Remain in any forthcoming second (or is it third) Referendum on membership of EU, (formerly known as EEC, Common Market, etc.)
Well the will of the people is to go to the toilet now! Gerrronwifit! Blitz spirit we’ll wipe our arse with newspaper or that scratchy cheap stuff if we have too! No more imported EU rolls!
We can grow our own toilet roll!
I reckon we should stick with the bidet.
