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.
I'm honestly not picking on him because I dislike his politics & personality but his frequent mumbling/talking to himself makes me wonder about his mental health. Is it early-stage... something?*

Boris' campaign is reminding me a lot of the Tory 2017 one so far.
It's replacing This Week.
Unbelievable. He's blatantly talking whatever crap comes into his head that he thinks sounds impressive.
'I get old...uhm...I don't know...wooden crates?'
you can almost hear his inner monologue going 'hmm yeah big fecking wooden crates that sounds good and down to earth, the public will love this'.I'm willing to bet he has never made a model bus in his entire life. Look at him. He doesn't even have the attention span to be able to sit down in a barber's chair for any longer than five minutes.
Maybe he should take a lead from this lady:
Aye, a shocking amount of presumption from his camp that he's got it in the bag and doesn't need to do anything at all, which has allowed Hunt to go on the offensive, albeit a very tacit offensive from someone who simultaneously wants a major cabinet position should he lose.
Said it before but Hunt's a weird one. He's devoid of any political charisma and he was maligned as HS but he managed to blunder his way into a bigger office and could still yet end up in the top office. Somehow he's managed to not alienate any wing of the party completely. Even if he's a bit rubbish he's quite a somewhat skilled operator insofar as internal party matters are concerned. Or maybe he's lucky as feck and I'm giving him too much credit.
Always been a bit like that, I genuinely think it's mostly just a mixture of the persona he likes to play and his general incompetence.
What you're saying is that he's actually Stalin.
I think it's just late stage posh
Why would you even bother making up stuff with the question like this? It’s sure mustn’t have been nerves.Amazing how you can track his mind working and the gears turning...
Err think of something normal and inoffensive: PAINT. (Mention being mayor of london)
Shit feck what do i paint? BUSES. Shit no I dont paint actual buses.
I MAKE THINGS. Oh for feck sake now I'm really in the shit. (Mention being mayor of london)
I MAKE BUSES. What do I make them out of you ask? feck sake I want some wine. WINE BOTTLES, NO WAIT: THE THINGS WINE BOTTLES COME IN. (segue into environment policies)

Just caught up with both Hunt and Boris' interview with Kuensssberg. It is like they both don't understand what is going on. Both are in their own version of fantasy land.
Not bad from whoever's in control of his twitter
Indeed.... Give that intern a payrise
Or some pay at all.
His poker face needs work.
Saw that this morning, very funny. Although I have since been persuaded that Johnson deliberately gave a nonsensical answer to get people talking about that rather than issues that actually matter. The 'dead cat' method, as he's previously labelled it.

It might remove it from the suggested search results but surely people won't so easily forget the £350m for the NHS lie.
Naaaah
I'm now convinced it was indeed a masterstroke. We've been played.
Lynton Crosby has definitely played people, but mainly by making normally rational people think he's some kind of Machiavellian genius rather than a guy that just knows how to play dogwhistle politics very well.
To see the new results you have to have typed 'Boris Johnson Bus' into Google. If you didn't already know anything about the £350m bus thing, why would you do that in the first place?
Yeah that’s what I thought.
“Holy feck, I just happened to type ‘Boris Bus’ into Google and... well you need to take a look at this... he promised £350m a week to the NHS... I’m speechless”
Anyone know what this is about?
Boris doesn’t want the job. Absolutely convinced of it. Why would he? Whatever outcome will absolutely ruin him politically.
His plan all along was to be the one to pick up the prices from whoever makes a mess of getting it over the line.
Murdoch doing his best David Pecker impression and carrying our catch and kills for Boris?
How is she being 'silenced by the government'? Sounds like a load of absolute bollocks.
How does this kind of thing not immediately rule someone out of being PM these days?
very much so
Given that Sophie writes for the Guardian i think its pretty likely if she had any info it would be in the public domain double quick time
Or she’s part of a discussion but isn’t able to source and verify the information before running with it, hence why she’s fishing.
If they have not managed to varify information in 4 days I'd be tempted to think there is nothing there to verify given how much effor they would be likley to be putting into something like that in the middle of an election
that said its boris so im not sure what the hell could come out that would convince poeple he is unsuitable for office if the last 20 years or so hasnt convinced them of that
The actual feck is this? Is there a backstory? Who is the guy going to arrack and why?
The state of this fecking country...christ.
