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.

May asked what she's doing to convince Trump to remain within the Paris Agreement...says she spoke to him last week to say we're staying in it. Spineless.
I like the next part "You can only deliver for Britain if you have the strength, the plan and the determination to see it through"
Such an own goal as those words now just bring laughter to those who read it.
Michael Crick is the man. Good lord, it's the absolute ease at how he gets under her skin.
May says to look at her parties record on the NHS...an audible snigger or two in the audience.
Is Corbyn legitimately closing in the polls?
He is, but as we found out in 2016, polls are shit.
He has been, yes. At the start of the campaign the Tories were often 20 points ahead...now the closest polls have him 3-5 points behind, and even the most distant ones have shown a slight narrowing of the gap. He's comfortably into the 30s anyway, which is more than he was at the start.
She can't even answer Harry Cole's questions. Harry soddin' Cole!
Is it just me, or is May's whole picking journalists in order to ask questions a bit weird? Is that something that every PM does? Cause I feel like it's only her.
Pretty standard.
Im only aporoaching 30 so i don't remember many elections but has this tone of mocking ever been so strong?
Im not getting my hopes up but this feels quite significant.

Yeah...maybe May's way of doing it is just a bit weird, or something? I dunno, she just seems so awkward while doing so...and as I type, she literally walks off stage the second she's finished talking.
"What I think about last night's debate is that Amber Rudd did an absolutely excellent job"
The very next question "Did you actually watch last night's debate?"

She definitely has an awkwardness that's takes the worst of Miliband and the worst of Brown and forms some kind of super being of awkwardness. If she was Labour she'd be at about -50.Yeah...maybe May's way of doing it is just a bit weird, or something?

She seems to be really banking on the public being incredibly fecking stupid, which to be fair isn't a high risk bet sadly.
She pretty much said she watched the debate. Not too busy to watch but too busy to turn uo herself
Thats what worries me.

What was her answer? There's a trap in that question.
*Edit, just saw Smores reply..*
81% Labour
73% Lib Dem
73% Green
41% UKIP
39% Conservative
Interesting.

I think the fact that every single poll keeps on showing Labour gaining on the Conservatives proves that it really is happening. We just don't really know by how much.
She just repeated her previous reply about Rudd but it implies she watched it last night or today. When you've made excuses about being too busy its not the best answer
At least Brown and Milliband appeared sincere. Her personality has literally no redeeming features
Do you still believe this TH? Or has the campaign won you over a bit?
So her new soundbite is 'I have the plan'. Presumably followed by 'I'll tell you what it is after the election'.
Worked for Trump.
The QT special tomorrow is the big one really. If May can avoid looking like her skin is out of sync with her body she might still get a majority.
Anyone know what time that is?
Ta.
Presumably they'll have spent most of their time and energy in to prepping her for this.
It's amazing, if May was Labour leader and Corbyn was Tory leader, it'd be the biggest whitewash in election history. She's so banal and awkward, yet the campaign is totally based on presenting her as someone who will fight tooth and nail for the country. I just hope her and her party get their comeuppance when the counts come in.
She's getting one regardless, and a large one at that.
he had some ideas, even if they were shite.. and no one would allow them to get passed. She offers feck all.
Lot of interesting stuff in that poll. Tories failing to unify the Leave vote as they have been elsewhere with Labour taking much more of the Tory remainers (Jippy is obviously not an outlier), Labour's support much more uniform across the age groups (other than 65+ where it's the same) so less reliance on turnout, and Sadiq is MASSIVELY popular still.
She may not have any policies, but Corbyn said he hates the queen in 287BC, so who you gonna trust?
There should be an independent body or something that can compel the fecking Prime Minister to answer a question that is put to them.
I genuinely can't remember the last time I watched TM answer a question honestly.

Yep and if that figure is right then it will be the best Labour have performed in London since 1997.
She died in that hospital
Would you like to hear the story about my dad dying in a nursing home? Good care there, 900 quid a week, that's what good care costs
