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.

It might be to his plan but the issue is Boris is too immature not to get riled by all this criticism. Like Trump he's easily made to look a fool.
Initially yes. I feel like no one takes him seriously whenever I watch him though
Definitely needs to wrap things up now
Idd they'll keep handing the initiative back to the UK. The UK wont be kicked out by running out of time, there'll always be an extension on the table as an alternative to no deal. If you leave without a deal they'll make sure to avoid as much responsibility as possible for it.
Quite right.

He is rather tedious.

I’m sure someone just shouted ‘sit down love’. Patronising as feck.
There’s probably a hard limit next summer. The EU budget will be coming up, and no-one needs the UK mess getting in the way of that.
I think I heard that too
Don't write him off just yet.
Just look at how many people have come around to the idea that no deal 'won't be all that bad'.
The tories have been in power for 28 out of the last 40 years. I don't understand it, but I'm not convinced that pattern is about to change.
Yet they haven't had a significant majority in 30...
If the EU grant extension I hope it stretches past the point where all these cnuts have to declare all of their dirty money sources. That would be sweet sweet nectar

Every Tory that has stood to speak so far is really pushing the General election. I find this pretty strange.
I'm a bit disappointed no one has pointed out that the logic the Tories are using for a general election is equally applicable to a people's vote.
"Let the people decide in a general election!"
"Why don't we just ask them directly"
"Grumble grumble will of the people"

Interesting to see a government arguing for an election and an opposition against one.
That’s what I’m thinking, it’s uttery bizarre to watch.
Yeah someone should offer to have people’s vote referendum if they are so keen on hearing where the country stand on this.
So it that it for today's episode? What's on for tomorrow?
Quite. And look at the state the country is in.
I have no clue any more. I think I will take the Ostrich approach from here on in.

The opposition is not against an election. It quite rightly wants to have a no deal exit excluded by royal ascent and then they will agree to the election.
Who's this floppy-haired cnut?
Tomorrow parliament votes whether the UK will rejoin the real world.
Boris Johnson?
Is it Fabricant?
Corbyn is not stupid .He knows Conservatives are setting a trap with putting forward a General Election.

They don’t want to own no deal, this is all a charade to try and goad Corbyn into calling a GE so they can cast him as the anti-democracy fiend who kept us in the EU beyond the 31st October.
My feeling has always been that he wants to get a majority through a GE to try and get his own fudge through or failing that, to have some sort of claim to a real mandate for no deal.
Blimey, not seen Jess Phillips that visibly angry since a black woman on the left expressed an opinion.
I'd vote for that.
I do find it weird that you can stand up in Parliament and make statements about things that have occurred there which are factually untrue, and not be corrected.
The decision to submit article 50 was dumb. But the legislation did not reference leaving on the 29th of March with or without a deal. That’s just a lie.

But they must know that there is no way that Corbyn will ever become PM. So once this vote gets rejected in a minute I’m assuming they will then try and paint Corbyn as a coward? The bloke is damned either way.
I kind of feel all bets are off in a GE. It would possibly be a hung parliament. I heard one commentator say tonight that Boris might even resign as Prime Minister if Labour don’t call for an election, with the thinking that Corbyn would be unable to form a government, bringing about a GE.
Should there be an early General Election?
Ayes: 298
Noes: 56
Majority required was 434.

So much winning for Boris over these 3 days
