It would be great if the BBC didn't give full blown coverage to Farage. Really doesn't give much credence to the idea that all speech is valid as then the bad ideas will be found out. That really doesn't work if a third of the country are absolute idiots.

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.
And when news presenters/reporters don't hold them to account or check their facts....
Are we likley to see an attempt in parliament to pass a deal before the EU elections?
Or have they given up on that idea?

UNELECTABLE
But he is.
I like Corbyn as a protest vote option. But the man to run the country? Nah.
He won't be winning any GE. Winning the pre-election polls will be the the height of his political achievments.

It's funny how things work out. Remember 2010, when Farage was a UKIP candidate and he was involved in a light plane crash? I was amazed he walked away from that with just minor injuries, because the plane was wrecked.
I sometimes wonder if he feels he has a charmed life.
He's a cowardly populist. He agitates from the sidelines know he'll never have the heavy burden of actual power, all the while earning top 5% money from his profile.
I think this country is permanently fecked.
They've been crystal clear about feck all
Its just a split of the Tory vote in meaningless elections, isn't it. They'd all decamp back to usual positions in the event of a GE I'd guess, but even if they didn't, wouldn't it be a win for Labour? Don't forget that UKIP dominated the last EU elections simply because no one expect for hard line leavers gave a damn about the EU elections.
Yeah I did think that. Clearly someone is fecking up.
I thought the same, but it's 2 different polling sites
Going onto Britain Elects website, it looks like the Brexit Party has lost 5% of its voters within 1 day
(Both Yougov polls)
Or more likely, whatever method is being used to poll these people is flawed a strongly shows current events rather than long term trends.
Yougov show the same thing. Brexit Party has lost 4% in 24 hours
Except honouring the referendum. Corbyn and McDonnell have never deviated from that, although as to how it might be done you're quite right, no one knows, least of all them I suspect.

My guess is the EU election polls are all over the place because it's generally a much harder election to predict than a UK one...with the added volatility of Brexit added onto that. Throw in a new party or two and you've got a recipe for chaos. But consistently seems like the Tories aren't doing well.
Might not be the worst move tactically for the conservatives to not field candidates (can't loose if you don't play) and spin it as being because they feel we shouldn't be taking part.. will of the people from the first referedu m ... Lets them put all resources into the local elections as well
I see the man who was sending death threats to various remainer MPs has been sent to prison. He's racist, too. He wasn't hard to find - he sent the emails from his own home computer.
It's good that this has been taken seriously.

In some ways its their only move, after all if May is serious about bringing us out of the EU, just what is the point?
The two questions most Conservatives will ask themselves over Easter is exactly that, is she serious and if we are leaving the EU why waste time/energy/money on fighting these 'non-elections'?
The Brexit Party is fighting in these elections as a protest vote over 'not leaving' and most of the other smaller parties including the Liberals 'are very serious' about these elections, wanting us to remain in the EU, so everyone knows where these groups (including the Brexit Party) stands, that only leaves Labour? What on earth will be their platform?
This is the point at which if Labour is to tear itself apart over Brexit it will be on the Rock of the EU elections, with inner city constituencies and some southern areas all wanting to remain and/or a second referendum, but with most of its strongholds in the North wanting a 'unicorn' Brexit solution, both of which seem at the present at least, totally unobtainable with May in power!
Therefore even more pressure heaped on Jeremy after the Easter break, he of all party leaders cannot afford the spectacle of participating in the EU elections without Brexit being settled first... which way will he jump? And if he does 'jump' (to support May) will his faithful Momentum buddies follow him over his own version of the Brexit Cliff edge?
I think a few in Europe might think they had cocked up somewhere along the line if May decided that. All UK MEPs would be either troublesome Brexit loons or left wingers, and the latter might be enough to swing the balance of power in Europe to the left, to the consternation of some.
He looks pleasant.
EU - Britain seems to be not understanding how serious a undertaking leaving the european union is and at the moment is simply wasting time.

He's more electable than Corbyn.
Yeah it doesn't have the same punch when Labour are over 10 points clear.
Wum.
If you think things are bad now, it doesn't bare thinking about what a mess Corbyn would leave behind.
Errrrrr, what?
One's the leader of the Opposition with, as you say, a 10 point lead. The other's a bloke with a bucket on his head.
I thought my post was pretty obviously satire when you take into account the two people I'm comparing.
But when you feel the need to defend the Labour leader against a throw away joke about Buckethead, that's a pretty damning indictment of Corbyn himself. Probably more so than any anti-Labour activist would ever hope.
fyi I wouldn't use it as your opening line.
satire
/ˈsatʌɪə/
noun
noun: satire
the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
Armando Iannucci better up his game.
I'm posting this in the hope you're not as illiterate as you seem.
satire doesn't read as satire when you also believe it unironically, it might be a unfunny joke but it's not satire, it doesn't even have any animals in it
That poll with the 10 point Labour lead also had a 16 point lead for remain

I keep hearing this from people, but I fail to understand what a Corbyn government could to do the country that's worse than the last 9 years of the Tories.
