Kennedy was fantastic I agree.

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 think Cable has about as many of the negatives as Clegg without many of the positives. Lamb's sensible but always looks like he has a cold and might lose his seat anyway. Sarah Olney has been an MP for less than a year. That's already 4 of their 9 MPs including Clegg and Farron! Says a lot that the favourite to be the next leader isn't an incumbent MP or even standing in a Lib Dem held seat (Jo Swinson).
Boris may be the undoing of the Tories trying to attack Corbyn on this. Despite him coming out and saying a link is nonsense, he's written previous articles at length saying the opposite.
He's been pretty awful, but you know. Democracy is basically a mirage, there is no point voting for anyone other than who you actually want.
Telegraph says.
'War on terror' is not working, says Jeremy Corbyn – as Labour leader accused of 'twisted reasoning' over terrorism
Not a fair reflection of what Corbyn said, but there is also the ethical question of watching a genocide happen if there is a strict non-intervention policy. I believe Liberal leaders who get elected on campaign promises of non-intervention find it difficult to adhere to their ideology once they are in the hot seat and have to make tough decisions. Would be interesting to see what Corbyn will do once he becomes PM (here's to hoping)

Even if she did get in Swinson would be a risk - always a chance of an SNP upswing taking the seat right back off her at a following election.
Let's just say I'm still skeptical this poll is worth the paper it isn't printed on.
May saying that Corbyn stated terrorist attacks "are our own fault". Absolute nonsense.
Looks like we're going to have to start selling Saudi Arabia fibre optic cables and 4G masts.
Every tragedy is an opportunity to these creatures.
Time for the United Kingdom and other European nations to be hard on Saudi Arabia and Qatar. No more nice relations and selling them arms and stuff. Saudi funds some very dodgy organisations and is responsible for spreading their Wahhabi ideology around the world.
Selling the Saudi's weapons is a necessary evil at this point.
Why is it necessary?
I see Marching has his hard core Tory hat on tonight

Corbyn interview time. Come on Jeremy!
I'm sorry?
What good have they done with the weapons besides killing scores of Yemeni children and having them find their way in the possession of jihadists? How has that benefited Britain in any way?
Is it feck!
Neil going in heavy on Corbyn's IRA connections. Not sure he's handling it too well.
He's not giving any straight answers, doesn't look good to me.
He's really not doing well on NATO, kind of dodging the question a little bit.
Why would people support a leader who supported the IRA?
Kinda fecking question is that. Ridoculous2
Corbyn is trying to maintain dignity but his calls for restrain and to finish his lines won't sit well sadly. Need a stronger second half.
Getting wrecked to be frank.
I don't think it's ridiculous for Neil to call up Corbyn's past connections and in particular McDonnell and Abbott's comments, which are worse.
Connections. Not flat out saying he supported the IRA. McDonnel is the one who has the issues not Corbyn
He's doing ok.Don't think the average person cares to much about his past. They've read it all before
And Neil rightfully called that up as well. Under Corbyn, McDonnell would be the second most powerful man in any Labour government.
The question itself might have been a bit hysterical though, and Neil did seem to be misconstruing Corbyn's point on the initial question on terrorism.
Don't think he's doing that well to be honest. This format does not suit him in the slightest.
The BBC misconstruing Corbyn's point? Never.
Considering he's got the momentum right now, the Tories run the risk of looking like they're just trying to deflect away from their own problems and that they're going with a negative approach, especially when Corbyn's positive ideas seem to be resonating with a lot of people.
Corbyn's coming across as evasive, deliberately not stating his true thoughts. If you've bet on him I'd cash out now.
BBC are the puppets of the Tories now
He's more of a soft-spoken, discussion type of person, while Neil likes to constantly grill his interviewees and will often interrupt/talk over them. I don't mind Neil sometimes because he can be very good at giving a grilling and putting politicians on the spot, but sometimes it can feel like he's trying to be too Paxman-esque.
Presumably you didn't see their criticism of the Tories throughout...well, most of the past couple of weeks? Or May getting grilled by Neil as well?
Nah this is just Andrew Neil, always likes this.
I still maintain that IRA assertion is completely uncalled for from the BBC though
