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.
We do have some beautiful scenery, just a pity about the towns really.
Get the kettle on lads
May I be the first to apologise for Wales.
I love you Caroline 
What is the Daily Mail playing at? Putting that horrible picture of their strong and stable leader?
@GDaly95
May could still be PM, it's really too early to say.
@ Silva
Possibly, governance in the UK depends on convention so much, but there would have to be protocols in place - either formal or informal, I imagine. As I say, I'm not sure and just using my common sense + a little knowledge of other systems.
I don't think Labour can absolutely count on SNP support without ceding a great deal. The SNP is a nationalist party - remember the vote of no confidence in 1979 which brought down the Labour government and initiated Thatcherism.

Exit poll - no Green Seats
Caroline Lucas - Can't begin to hope that this is right
The exit poll has them on one seat (I would guess hers).
It's a fascinating dilemma. She specifically asked for an increased majority as a mandate to negotiate on our behalf because she was 'strong and stable'.
If she ends up with a reduced majority whilst making Corbyn significantly stronger, then I'm not sure her position is very tenable.
Corbyn would harangue her in parliament with increased confidence and power and Euro PM's would use her deceased majority as a tool to undermine her in Brexit negotiations. It's a monumental cock up and yet an another example of Tory hubris causing them self harm
Was my prediction I posted on FB last night:
I predict Labour/SNP/Lib Dem coalition. Tories won't get more than 315.
Come on Jez!

Yeah saw you are right. Need my glasses!
Scotland almost get a pass as the Labour Party has took them for granted for years.
You've spurred me to have some too, cracking idea.
That's the face of a woman who's just suffered a brown ballerina.
Haha, I've got the wine going with rum for later.
Really need Sunderland and Newcastle to come in, so we can see how the exit poll holds up.
This. I'm not getting my hopes up until I see Blair hand that boarding pass for Rotterdam to the staff at the gate.
Shy tories?
Cautious Commies
If there's another election i can't begin to predict what will happen.
So May's Strong and stable government leads her to calling an election and losing her majority.
Sunderland aiming to put the bitter taste of relegation behind them by beating Newcastle to be the first seat to declare.
I wonder if the Blairites are currently wishing they hadn't attempted the coup or if they are regretting that the coup was unsuccessful tonight.
No May's gone we're into June already.
More Tory chaos as it stands.
No chance.
What happens if its a hung parliament? I don't know much about UK politics
That's an interesting one. Impossible to say which is true
Hints from Sunderland?
If this does go how it's looking...
Cameron - arrogantly calls a referendum to cement his own position and give him political breathing room. Bye!
May - arrogantly calls an election to cement it's own position and give him political breathing room. Bye!

Scotland might be fannying this up though, innit
need the SNP vote to hold up too
need the SNP vote to hold up too
Could be another election .May would step down. Or it could be a coalition of different parties
Heh, nice.
There's no free pass for anyone born and raised in Scotland voting Tory.
lots of options based on the exit poll.
The brits love a good under dog...I think it raised his stock personally. He also wouldn't have been able to have the same manifesto with a Blairite front bench.
Possible as both SNP and Lib dem are left leaning so more compatible with Labour. Would still be pretty difficult though.
Why are SNP losing so many seats?
