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.
Something that is literally happening now is a vision of Keir’s Britain.
I reckon she’s going to go back on resigning after missing out on the house of lords
This is farcical.
She’s a grifter. She’s just waiting to see what Sunak promises her. The last thing he wants is another by-election.
Only 2 MP's can resign at a time.
She has to wait for BJ to resign as 'Steward and Bailiff of the Three Hundreds of Chiltern' first.
The memories:
"Theresa May’s Brexit deal has been slammed by arch-leave MP Nadine Dorries – because it means the UK will be left without any Members of the European Parliament."
I find this rhetorical gimmick particularly infuriating. It's stunning how stupid they think their "readers" are.
What a twat Boris is.
Absolutely.
Those examples of business which are struggling are not the main drivers for inflation. Those with ridiculous corporate profit like the energy companies are.
They are that stupid though.
Quite honestly anyone who actually pays for a so called newspaper, which in point of fact has little to do with actual news must have more money than sense. Especially the dreadful DM.
My fixed rate ends next year. I am fortunate that we have been over paying for a while so the new rate will probably lead to a monthly payment around the same level as our current DD. But I feel for those who are just about managing.
Our fixed rate ends next June. I think it will increase about 30% compared to what we are paying now if interest rates are what they were two weeks ago when I looked at what the rise might be.
I reckon we will go interest only for a little bit to see if things calm down, which would actually be a reduction, and then see if we can overpay that. Not ideal but better than really struggling financially.

Their MPs are as bad too. Remember this?
There have been many drivers of inflation, which is one of the reasons it has been so stubborn. People spending record savings from the pandemic when supply chains were nearly broken, massive energy price hikes, huge food price inflation from loss of Ukraine output and soaring fertiliser costs from the war, plus bad weather. Tight labour markets with loads retiring, eg US, or long-term sick in the UK and lack of new workers, housing costs etc....It's pretty galling, if not unexpected, to see corporate profiteering exacerbating the issues though.
On a brief visit to the UK the other week I could see supermarket shelves were a bit sparse in places, prices were higher than I remembered and plenty of shrinkflation of goods evident.
Thanks Jippy. I'm also currently reading America, a Farewell Tour and it's opening chapter touches on the same subject.
According to James O'Brien, while she was the secretary of state for media she tried calling his employer to get him sacked for criticising her and Bodger..
Keep dabbing on her
It's funny how she cites her background as why it's not right that she can't be in the Lords, except she has dropped her accent entirely and represents a party that has systematically targeted Liverpool as a place allowed to decline into poverty for decades
If there is any justice in this world, these grifters won't end well.
How's your blood pressure? Just watch this imbecile.
Another case of showing how little politicians know about the things they should know about in the positions they're in. Disturbing how these moronic cnuts get positions above their station time and time again.
That's wild, they haven't banned trafficking websites?! Why the hell wouldn't they do that?
Energy prices are the number one driver. They impact processing raw materials and every single household/business premises. This is pure profiteering from the energy companies. Hence corporate profits driving inflation
Food prices are number 2- but in most cases this is genuine increase in production costs.
Because half the Tory MPs and their donors no doubt use them?
Sunak in PMQs today was just pathetic.
You’re welcome.
My mortgage is up for renewal in February. Joy.
You have my sympathy. My daughter mortgage has gone up from £195 to £582/month. And she had managed to overpay so her loan was smaller.
Any idea what yours is likely to be?
And Boris Johnson is loving the chaos he is causing.
He will be praying for a large Labour majority at the next election. And then in a few years time with come back like a knight in shining armour saying that only he can lead the Tories to a future election win.
We are looking for a house at the moment to buy but don’t know what is the right answer in terms of waiting it out or just taking the plunge.
I think it’s going to be somewhere between 500 and 700 a month more.
And every time you have to pay that, you will see Liz Truss face on every pound note.
And now the government are blaming too high wage growth....as if that can be having any effect yet.
Food inflation 20% versus wage inflation of just over 6%. And Jeremy Hunt is now saying that interest rates must rise in order to curb wages growth which is driving inflation.
Wage inflation is a response to this not a cause.
If there was no wage inflation, people would be in food and energy poverty having to sell their houses and rent where? Certainly nowhere that will be cheaper than their mortgage was that’s for sure.
In my understanding is a response and a cause till it stabilizes. Inflation causes wage inflation that causes inflation that causes wage inflation etc...the policies implemented has to accomplish that the ripple effect is having smaller increases every time (next inflation cycle being smaller than before that causes a smaller wage inflation cycle and so on) in opposition falling to an increasing spiral out of control of inflation - wage inflation.
In any way, we will get screwed because as we could see, energy companies and food companies had benefit records as they used the real inflation to inflate the prices even more for pure greed. screwing us over
I’m there!
