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.
I suppose the parties' positions on Brexit are pretty much clear and the debate's already been had. It makes me think there's not much movement to be had in this campaign, because no-ones arguing on the biggest topic. People like Theresa May and her approach to Brexit. Labour just want the whole thing to go away, UKIP are irrelevant and the Lib Dems aren't big enough to fire up the debate by themselves.
Reminds me of when you score 4 in the first half, then come out for the second half knowing the game is won. Maybe you'll keep a clean sheet, maybe the other side will put a bit of gloss on the scoresheet, but the basic issue is settled and so neither team really puts in a proper shift.
well. the big questions/general course is already decided and it is difficult to discuss details, because they are up for grabs during the negotiation. The time to discuss brexit was before the referendum and shortly afterwards (until the Torries decided that leaving the single market is the way to go).
But my favourite has to be this one.
Demon Eyes is hard to beat.
I like this one: The Conservatives openly admitting they are pricks.
The Tories were on a roll in the 80s.
This was effective last time
Corbyn and a few MPs pushed some very good quotes today about May hiding from the public after she shipped in activities and kicked out the workers.
Not often they manage the press message so well

Some of those Conservative posters are very good though. An election winning machine.
From '45
Oh how so many wish Labour would go back to these electable days. Memories...
You can see the kid on the bottom right still wondering why they picked him of all people to be the Yvette Cooper stand-in lookalike.
I love how vague every promise was
An NHS with time to care ?
Controls on immigration ?
HOMES TO BUY ! ???
I can only imagine they saw that 2 mins before the event and thought....ah shit.
Apart from living standards which they had to make sure it was they only want them for working families.
An NHS with time to care is catchy whatever the feck it means
Tell us more!
Posters defo used to be better. Some of the WWII ones are amazing.
That's a great piece of propaganda.
Hitler's face is subtly retouched to look younger and more handsome. His expression is stern, resolute but a little soulful. He's wearing a uniform, the people in the background are wearing uniforms, but there are no guns!
The picture is grim, ominous, grey clouds lour overhead, but rays of heavenly light shine on Hitler. Is that bird the dove of peace, the eagle of war, the sweet bird of happiness? Who knows?
Is the message of the poster one of strength, a renewal of national pride or War?
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Triumph of the Will Absolute.

I had nothing to do with it, Steve. I wasn't even born!
(My daddy is another matter though. But say no more about that!)
It's the eagle soaring high, flying in with the heavenly light.

Adolf looks like Daniel Plainview, with lighting by Caspar Friedrich.
Oh Ed.
Aside from the occasional cuts to disabled people, I love George Osbourne
Nuttall to stand in Boston and Skegness.
"I say - you there. May I see the wine list?"
This is surprising and makes me feel dirty for agreeing with the rag (headline).
The odds on Theresa May pissing off a group that overwhelmingly go out to vote to please a group that traditionally don't, must be vanishingly small.
The Sun talking sense for once.
Even then, the electoral maths sucks for 18-24s. The 65+ demographic is simply too large.
They wouldn't be doing it for electoral reasons, ditto with the supposed tax rises. Strange situation when Labour are attacking them from the right.
They'll probably just do what they always do, and promise to keep it safe using some vague wording they can wriggle out of later. May already started the other day, talking about how they definitely absolutely wouldn't change it before 2020!
