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.
Labour is currently running the equivalent of Dewey's campaign in the 1948 election.
To be fair YouGov have already been exposed as Tory shills.
Indeed
Probably the (impending) replacement of Boris?
It's like she's giddy with her new found popularity so is acting the class clown to get more attention.
She's basically going to be Trump, instead of fox news it'll be GB News but she'll be led by seeking praise.
Yep, the thickos think rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic makes a difference.
yeah I mean 90%+ of the population are really disengaged with politics and as such something like changing a PM probably cuts through more than the intricacies of the leadership battle and policy ideas - UK politics would probably be a far better thing if more people were engaged - Im not sure labelling them all thickos is the right way to go about that though
the people who one hand say you cant trust politicians anymore and then on the other hand say they want boris back. they are thickos. theres plenty of them.
You can't say that!
these are also the same people who go on about no one having the right to be offended, and then shit their pants when they are called out for being thickos.
the funny thing is the politicians they support treat them with so much more contempt and disrespect than me or you calling them thick ever could.Interest rates... its nowhere near Norman Lamont's 15% (Black Wednesday- 16/09/1992) (ERM and all that) figure?
"Don't, panic.... don't panic....Jonesy!!

Cool. Cool cool cool......

With my fixed rate mortgage due to end next month and my meeting with the advisors next week...I want to cry.
I fecking hate Tories.
I fecking hate Tories.
We got our first mortgage in February at 1.99% fixed for 2 years. The original offer that expired was 2.49% fixed for 5 years. At the time we thought it was good news
Ooooohhh, 2.49% for 5 years through this shit show? That would've been nice, sorry to hear that.We got our first mortgage in February at 1.99% fixed for 2 years. The original offer that expired was 2.49% fixed for 5 years. At the time we thought it was good news
Mine ends October and there's only one direction the payments are headed...
Quite a long (but I think interesting) thread from Richard Murphy on why the Bank of England is making everything worse and how they are needlessly making the 'have-nots' suffer:
While we are getting battered due to sticking to the variable rate on our gas and electric over the next couple of years I can't quite believe our luck with the timing of our 5 year fixed rate mortgage we renewed in January. Committed to 1.64% too and it didn't take effect until April.
We’re lucky to be in a similar situation, 5yr fixed from March.
More likely the infiltration of YouGov.
Good luck - I am serious.We got our first mortgage in February at 1.99% fixed for 2 years. The original offer that expired was 2.49% fixed for 5 years. At the time we thought it was good news
My mortgage will still run for 10 years, it started 5 years ago.
I just got my first mortgage, fixed rate from December 2021. 5 years.
We got a 5 year fixed at 1.8% I think from June? We could have got it at 1.4% if we had completed in March...but alas, happy with what we have.
Ours due to end next month too. We went for a 5 year fixed rate offered yesterday before the Bank of England announcement
ive been dowm some twitter rabbit hole, and it appears theres a liz truss / kwasi karteng / amber rudd love triangle....
Another thread from Richard Murphy on what needs to be done to avoid a crisis.
Does he realize he is speaking out loud? Or does it even matter?
He's targeting Tory members, not the general public.
That makes sense.
Nope!
