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.
Well in fairness it was the financial crisis that first knackered things but it's 13 years of abject failure to grow wages since the Tories got in. We should all be grateful and make do and mend and all that other shit though apparently. Because obviously our sacrifice has led to stellar advances elsewhere such as on climate change, health, education and global security.
At least they are offering something. It is a lot easier to wage a culture war when the opposition's policy position is "yeah, you know, you are right, but we would be better at deporting refugees".
Very true. The nodding dog approach!
Even if the tactic gets the, currently vacuous, Labour party into government they will have allowed the acceptable conversation to shift so far to the right they will struggle to make much difference. That's assuming they even want to make a difference, rather simply gain power at all costs then do nothing, like Keir Starmer did with the Labour leadership.
Johnson defence published:
Not a great day for the met then. They probably haven't had a good day in years mind.
I can’t stand Sunak or the Tories but I fecking hate these guys. Some group acting like they hold the power and they use taxpayers money for their work. Fecking disgraceful.
Snowflakes...

The Tories definitely see the channel migrant issue as the key to staying in power.
Given the recent polling - that every age group with the exception of 18-24 (who don't really vote) supports a harsher stance; I can see why.
Not that any of their policies / rhetoric will have an affect on this; however I'm guessing the hope is the stronger the rhetoric the more they'll be seen to be tougher, without doing anything.
Hopefully people are smart enough to see though this, but I'm not convinced.
It’s the only thing they have left.
Assuming it will actually work.
Feck you Bojo.
Honestly. The man is a compulsive liar. He will say anything he can and try to kie his way out of any situation.
If anyone trusts a word he says, I would be amazed if the enquiry find him guilty though. It is all about politics, not the truth.
He has already admitted misleading Parliament, because it is obvious that he did.
But he now says that he did not 'intentially' mislead it.
Because he knows that it will be pretty difficult to conclusively prove his intentions. Intentions are subjective and not objective.

Exactly. 'Partygate' did for Boris, it helped get him removed from office, that is as far as any group of politicians will go to turn on their own.
Boris is a 'side show' now. So Starmer needs to keep 'stum' on this topic, don't get embroiled in trying to bury the body twice, let the privileges committee do their business, 'shake the dust' etc and focus on the real problems.
Starmer with a murder right here.
Not that it makes much difference, but it was appointing Chris "Pincher by name, Pincher by nature" Pincher as a Whip whilst knowing full well he was a total wrong'un that did for Boris. Chris Pincher then attacked two men whilst totally battered at the commons bar.
They all defended Johnson to the nth degree on Partygate (and still are, like total morons)/lying to the house.
de Pfeffel denying everything.
I tried reading that and spat all over my screen
BBC saying that none of us understood the rules, so how can the comity say that Boris should have realised that the guidance had been broken? Typical.
I'll never get over how deeply weird Westminster is. It looks like they're just having fun.
Who is saying that on the BBC?
Agreed, it is deeply off-putting.
Seriously? Surely a guest saying that, or an interviewee and not the actually journalists?
Don't know here name the presenter on BBC News channel covering the comity.
Boris has some arrogance that I wish I had at times. The guy can stand over a dead body, with their blood on his hands and him twirling the machete around but claim confidently it wasn't him and he'd genuinely believe himself
fecking cnut. Basically saying that its cos he believed it, he didn't do anything wrong.

He is, of course, lying through his teeth.
Not his biggest fan, far from it, but that was some diabolical brutality!This Johnson hearing is making me lose the will to live already.
I can't take this seriously whilst we still swear on a fecking bible.
You promise the biggest lie ever told that you won't tell a lie. Makes perfect sense

I like how he thinks that a bunch of drinks is essential. I wish someone would just say what about others? Hospitals etc. weren't having drinks to keep up morale
Me? No.
Johnson was always going to be up there lying his arse off. It just made me laugh that we still pretend to tell the truth over a book.
Meanwhile
Johnson is amazing.
The parties were crucial to the functioning of government, apparently, so exempt from the rules.

Passing drinks to each other was exempt, but the Prime Minister ensured no one borrowed each other's pens.
