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 think we'll get a Labour Lib Dem partnership.
Starmer and Davey seem on the same page, the recent by elections clearly had a pact between the two to beat the Tories.
Trust me, Trump was much worse than that. He wanted the Jan 6th mob to literally kill Mike Pence so that he could stay in power. This all has come out over the last few weeks. Until parliament is set on fire no one can claim that the UK is facing a worse situation unfortunately.
This may be genius by Johnson. Convince Braverman to run, and all of a sudden he doesn't seem so bad.
This is the type of person that fascists love. Dumb and quick to anger to defend their political deity.

Gives Nadine and Patel a run for their money. There is no way she gets within a sniff of leader.
Today has been epic, I have completely forgotten to check if United have signed anyone.
Nailed it in one. These vandals have largely only fecked things up and funnelled money towards white elephant CCS, nuclear and wood burning "green" projects. Big talk, small minds.
I think he’ll do anything to try and turn her back… when he announces himself Emperor, she’ll be his perfect Darth
I don’t know. They are United on their current disdain for the Tories but traditionally Lib Dem voters are more Tory leaning that labour leading. I believe it would be a long shot to see that coalition. As a Labour member, I would much prefer to see Labour in power without the Lib Dems as I still hold a severe level of disdain for them from 2010
Nearly spat my dinner out.
It would take an almighty shift for Labour to get a majority with the SNP in Scotland. Even with everything as is, I can't see Labour not needing to form a coalition.
Narrator: They hadn’t.
She is, quite rightfully, being mocked heavily and taken apart by commentators and on Twitter.
No I agree. My initial post said the same thing. I would much prefer to see A minority government propped up by the SNP or a confidence supply arrangement with Lib Dems. I just would not enjoy the prospect of giving any formal role in Government to the Lib Dems
The thing is the Tories themselves were struggling to win a majority until the last election which was won based on lies about Brexit.
2010 and 2017 they couldn't do it and 2015 Cameron won with a very small majority, so it's not like they're well placed. I just think that's the way it is now, maybe proportional representation will change that I don't know.

I think the baggage of going into coalition with the SNP would be untenable in the longterm, especially with the moves for a second indy ref for next year. It would be completely nonsensical having a party making up a government in a parliament they don't want to recognise. Would be over before it started.
Zahawi - appointed yesterday. This afternoon - urges PM to resign. This evening - goes back on it and plans a new beginning tomorrow. Quite the week so far
The Times are also reporting he's been secretly planning a leadership bid for months.
Even by Tory standards hes a snake.
It’s borderline impressive at this point.
Matt Hancock has called on BJ to go…
Just to make everyone feel at home, the new Chancellor is up to his neck in sleaze too. Is there anyone 'clean' in the Tory party?

The person who opens the letters?
The tea lady??
Errrr.....yeah.......I am struggling here......
Brandon Lewis has definitely resigned now
50 resignations now.
Is he even gonna have anyone left to appoint?!
How long can he stay. Let's be honest we have no functioning PM with no functioning Government .
He has to go.
He has to go.

Alistair Campbell just shared all my thoughts. Spot on as always. Johnson just lives on a different planet.
Who is actually left? and what figure do we have to get to before its impossible for him to stay?
Not bad. That's about a third of all the ministerial type positions isn't it?
So if he refuses to quit, more of his MPs leave and we have a load of by elections.
Lets say, all these are won by labour and all of a sudden Labour have the majority seats, then what?
(I know it's unlikely, just curious)

Brexit Hardman Steve Baker suggesting people are ‘imploring’ him to made a leadership bid…
Steve, they’re Labour MPs mate, they’re taking the mick!

No, they’re resigning from cabinet positions and lower jobs in government. They’re not all resigning as MPs.
What we will have, actually do have, is a non-functioning government. A government with the majority of key roles vacant with nobody willing to fill them.
