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 genuinely didn't tbf. I thought she was farming it out to the party to vote on. I am fecked though- took the morning off cos I had a fever thing and managed to drench the bed in sweat. Missus was pissed cos it was still damp 10 hours on when she went to bed.
Senses dulled- nuances beyond me right now!
Nice one, chief.
Read this part way too quickly.
You should not be awake at this time discussing Question Time whilst deathly ill! Or at all tbf.
Get well soon. I don't want to be posting 'Is this THE ghost of Jippy?' in the Mail thread.
It's not that so much as the general poverty porn. The 'really hard working' folk who do 10-16 hours a week of work and want more benefits. I've been working 10+ hours a day for the last few weeks, am a higher rate tax-payer and shell out far more in tax than these people earn.Poverty is a lifestyle choice
People arguing for equality in society overlook the fact that there is a big layer of scum that needs scooping off.
She was abgry. She's got to leave at 6am to go to Madrid to carry out due diligence on a potential hedge fund investment.
My pheremones are apparently not all that.
The cubicle woman had a pubic triangle that could cover Alaska. So thick too.
But leaving all of that to one side, you're still president of the fan club?
Are there likely to be TV debates ahead of the Scottish Elections next year? Based on that showing (and the few other interviews i've heard) Dugadale will compare particularly poorly with Davidson, let alone Sturgeon. There isn't much of a message there at present, mostly sound bites as Jippy said.

Yeah, there probably will be debates. With Dugdale and Davidson both leaders of each party, there's a real danger for the Tories to overtake Labour up here. Davidson's competent and polished, while Dugdale is a walking symbol as to what is wrong with Labour.
She's not that bad.
She's awful. Jim Murphy would do a better job if he was still there.
Should have listened to this advice- just got in work 10 mins ago and feel like someone has buried an axe in my head.
Genuinely hard working people like me pay for your NHS treatments Jippy!

My treatments have involved rest, ibuprofen and Lemsip, I didn't burden the NHS. Pretty sure I paid over £20k in income tax/NI last year, so I do my bit!I take it that you are alluding the case of Tara Hudson? There were some positive developments in that regard yesterday, with her transfer from the all-male prison she'd originally been sent to.
Let me say this...
I was expecting him to say something really interesting and out there when he began with that.
He was a right whopper, wasn't he?
Peter Hitchens has been wheeled out the nuthouse again.
He's made some reasonable points, to be fair.
I can't admit that to myself. I'm programmed to hate him.
He was like a very disappointed firework, you saw the spark take and the rocket begin to fizz and...nothing.
He's interesting to listen to at the very least. Unlike Chuka and Greening, who could put you to sleep.
Ay, Greening looks as if she's turned up by mistake.
She's been a bit atrocious. Most Tories usually get away with saying little of note, but she was torn apart by the audience on the housing issue.
Coren's not bad.
Justine Greening was spot on about council house construction numbers though, whether Chuka recognises the figure or not.
Chuka summed up the centrist with his answer to the doctors question. Greening was not convincing anyone with her answer about housing and Hitchens blamed it on the immigrants. It was down to the member of the audience bring up the subject of social cleansing.
There was a lot of nonsense spoken by the other panellists during the discussion on housing, particularly with regard to council properties. Greening had most difficulty when the debate moved on to policing, where i thought she was trying to convince herself as much as the audience about the merits of future cuts.
Chuka speaks well and communication could be a particular strength for him, but he'll need to climb down off that fence first.

I thought Jenny Jones was the worst, her line on Syria was borderline insane.
Chuka presents himself well. He's polished and assured. I'm not sure if that cuts it in politics any more though - He lost the crowd at times by being so non - committal. His communication skills could backfire and make him look like just another style over substance politician.
Chuka is a disgrace. Doctors shouldn't enter the medical profession for money? Can Chuka explain his £20000 gift from the guy running a casino in his constituency? Maybe he should practice what he preaches.
He's a smarmy cretin and a coward to boot.
I think you entirely missed his point. The junior doctor even nodded along with him when he said it, he was defending their actions as not being about pay but about safety and hours worked.
Just switched on two mins ago. Genuinely thought that Stig from the Sun guy was Danny Dyer.
Urgh, Corbyn bowing nonsense...

"I'm speaking - shut up."
Tories getting absolutely slaughtered on the NHS by audience members.
Ooooh Paul Nuttals, I know him from the Stewart Lee bit. He's actually as cartoonish as I imagined.
