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.
Current issues aside, suddenly jettisoning someone whose career is based on him being the grandson of an absolutely dire human being is quite funny.
So for the older posters amongst us, just how historical and unprecedented times are we currently living in? I'm only 28 and have been following politics since around 2006, never quite known anything like this.
No one's lived through anything like this.
Wonder how this will play with Tory voters?
Surely they can’t be happy that iconic figures like Clarke and Soames are being rodgered like this, especially by a new upstart PM who has no capital to bank on yet.
It’d be a big ask. Soames has a 20k majority, Hammond 18k and Gyimah 24k. These aren’t swing seats.
Unless he's 110, then I am. And even then, he wouldn't remember much.
I’m 43 and been following politics since I was in my early teens. Nothing has come close to this.
What did he do?
Well, Rees-Mogg & Johnson probably think it's as historical a time in British life as the Reformation. Similarly - if you study the prime movers behind that event - greed, self-interest and expediency were the main motivations.
I can imagine that there a lot of Tory MP’s, who voted with the government tonight, will be in shock to see so many of their colleagues kicked out of the Tory party considering how many times the members of the current government voted against Therese May’s government on multiple occasions.
Scotland goes independent and the Tories gain potentially about 55+ seats towards their future majorities. They’ve definitely considered it.
IMO, Thatcher losing her job was quite a nutty few days.
Ditto Iraq war debate (3m protest, ‘fake’ dossier, killing of scientist) were unprecedented.
I have a friend who is an MP and she says Jo Cox’s death was her most intense memory of 15+ years in Westminster.
But this probably tops it, taking into account what will happen rest of the week.
Can someone explain why getting fecked out of the party is described as “having the whip withdrawn”? Such a weird phrase. I should probably google it but can’t be arsed.
BSand I speak as someone who works there
I'd imagine the people working at Fox news don't share my opinions about Fox news either... That doesn't change my observations.
Politicians and BDSM.
21. They've sacked 21 MP's. When they were already a minority government. It's quite something.
Lib Dems are going to take a lot of labour votes. I hope they don't run, Lib dems are a waste of space.
The British establishment has long been controlled by BDSM enthusiasts.
Boris is not only dividing the country, he’s dividing the Conservative party. The party is moving away from the center ground.
It's a hunting reference if i recall correctly.
And all because of people who believe in nothing beyond their own advantage...
Great Start Boris...Not sure who said that but . Surely the worst PM in history from the get go.
. Surely the worst PM in history from the get go.Somewhere, David Cameron is absolutely pissing himself laughing.
How very Tory.
I'm trying to think of the next crazy thing that they'll do. Call on brexiteers to block parliament? Officially merge with the brexit party? Resign the office?
Rather he took a long walk off a short pier.
Don't say that. I was briefly enjoying this.
All of this is doing a great job at distracting people from his top achievements as prime minister :
The Tory party really is a cnut factory. As soon as one disappears out pops another cnut to take their place.
Cummings is going to going to leak that there's a bomb under parliament that only he knows how to diffuse.
You're not kidding anyone, I've seen your tagline.
Rory Stewart's off to be Brendan Rodgers' understudy.
Into a pigs mouth probably.
This is basically like Boris going round his house, while he was out, and planting landmines all over his garden, only to end up finding himself in Camerons house, surrounded by landmines.
I'm over Amber. Moved on to Layla Moran as my sociopath of choice.
That's much better, thanks.
