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.
Shapps! Huh, yeah. What is he good for? Absolutely nothing.
Bet he ends up as Sir Grant Schapps.
He’s another yes man that will do and say anything for whoever is in power and will be rewarded as such.
What's the story here? Don't know him but he seems woefully under qualified for the job. Was Wallace at an end of term or push out or something?
The lords eventually. Total chancer.
SARAH VINE: Basket case Britain is starting to feel like a Third World country
Ah what a shame, she was so so close! Right message, not much insight into the reasons it might feel this way.....and how the government in charge for 13 years apparently holds no responsibility....

Wasn't he wanting the NATO Secretary job, but when he didn't get it, he decided to go.
Same as most in the cabinet.
It’s his 5th different cabinet position in 12 months apparently. He must be a quick learner,
that has got to be the worst graph ever. The colour usage is awful, the way they are representing data makes it look like they are polling Boris' likeability through the Truss and Sunak periods. They needlessly over-complicated it.
Shappsy always nails it.
Oh good so it's on Rishi then.
Don't worry, now it's a crisis they will find the money to pay through the nose to their donors/ relations
Hopefully Rishi's missus owns a concrete company. Not that they give any fecks about schools or education anyway.
I know its morbid, but just imagine if 1 child is hurt now as a result of unsafe buildings 
can't imagine sending my kids to school worried that the building might collapse on them. I swear this has actually already happened before this all came out.

That $3m donation to his US college looks even more terrible now
Amazing. There are over 30,000 schools in the UK. 500 in a decade is less than 1.7% of the total. In a decade. 1.7%. And he's boasting about it. Also, what @Drainy said.
Edit: About 25k schools. Like a lummox I didn't remove private schools from the figures.

We should start allowing these schools to be named after ministers. I bet they'd get funding ASAP.
Kinn hell
Why? His priorities are nakedly awful and always has been. A grotty little careerist who gives zero fecks about the country.
F**k him.
It'll be interesting to see if this "don't blame me for the things I've done" strategy continues to work for this absolute tosser.
Hypernormalisation.That can't be real
It's literally The Thick of It.
There you see. Proof if anyone needed it that Sunak is as big a liar as Boris Johnson.
Absolutely
This is a traditional old-fashioned news story called "Minister looks a tit".
Extended clip
When exactly do Labour call for a vote of no confidence?
I get that it wouldn’t pass. But surely the act of getting these craven vandals to have to vote ‘Yep, this government has my support’ is a good thing?
Some Tories in unsafe seats would have to balance electability over the party whip? Or else face an easy political win by the opposition parties come the GE?

It would be pointless to call such a vote, even the Tories won't vote for that, it's like Turkey's voting for Xmas. Their plan is to call the GE at the last possible moment so late 2024 and hope some of the problems are forgotten about. No doubt there will always be morons who vote for them.
I wonder what this could be for...
Just came to post just this. Bizarre, yet to this yank, understandable.
