Another Tory who doesn't answer questions and sidesteps everything. Predictable.

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.
How can it have been the best negotiation possible when the bar was set so low and the PM had all but admitted to a pro-EU position?
Oh come now, they all do it, just listen to the misleading statements by this Lib Dem on the panel.

Tory policy is still to delay, as it has been for years. Good luck.
Farage as no luck with traffic.I blame the immigrants.
I can't take Paul Nuttals seriously thanks to Stewart Lee. All I'm seeing here is a comedy character.
Rudd is on another planet, and the Labour contributor (i forget her name) isn't even in this solar system.
I'm assuming that Syria is the other topic for tonight's show?

That catchphrase "Northern Powerhouse" could comeback to bite the Tories in the future.
What has turned out to be yet another weak panel. Maybe QT could have a monthly episode in which only senior ministers appear, schedules permitting.
Yeah, the audience is better than the panel.
As for the Northern Powerhouse, it reminds me of the Big Society. Nuff said.

Mahmood was good, think she's got a solid future when she gets back in the shadow cabinet. Isabel Oakeshott is a terrible person and journalist.
Was in the audience last night. Found it difficult to sit there quietly on a row with people all of a similar age unable to have a say.
All I wanted to know is if Amber Rudd preferred KFC or Nandos

Who is that Oakeshott bint? Wrote a book about Cameron, hates the Tories and appears to be more right wing than UKIP. Awful person
Farage, usually good value for his particular cause, came across as a bit desperate tonight. Lots of calls from Welsh people to be given more money, no wonder the Welsh independence movement is dead. And one very interesting member of the audience, who proposed that instead of giving money to europe and getting it back in ice rinks and museums, why don't we keep the cash and use it to build up industry instead. I liked that one. Not for subsidising old industry but for assisting the new.
I'd be fine with that too. But I can imagine the current government cutting it out of the budget altogether instead.
I couldn't believe the nerve of that crook Carwyn Jones in criticising Jeremy Hunt and his running of the English NHS when the Welsh NHS is barely functioning due to chronic mismanagement by the Welsh Labour executive. I suppose that shows the complete failure of devolution - there is no accountability because very few people in the audience were aware of what is going on the the Welsh NHS because scrutiny is localised to the Welsh Assembly politicians/ the Welsh media when nobody in Wales pays any attention to them.
This Government or its successor might well spurn such a windfall, but those of the future won't even have the chance unless we vote make it possible. Who knows when the next referendum will be, if ever. Unlike at general elections, the humble electorate does actually have the potential to bring about significant change, ruffle a few political feathers.
I think Farage made a very good point about the decision to bail out the bank being made at EU level and the banks currently being some of the biggest donors to the In campaign. It's a shame nobody on the left seems to be making similar points.
I get the feeling some on the left are afraid to be seen to agree with Farage, even when he happens to be speaking sense.
He has a point about the party donors, but bank bailouts and quantitative easing were a lot to do with Gordon Brown, and he has a strong international rating as a result, if not in his own country. I suppose you have to think what the effects of bank collapse and greater economic collapse might have been on us if things had been handled differently.
Liz Truss is reliably useless
Truss: "If we leave the EU, i would actually have to do my f*cking job."
I nominate Liz to represent the Remain campaign at the Wembley Arena debate.
"Who's your MEP?"
If you want proof of how stupid both audience and panel are, this was it.
No one points out that you don't have an MEP but a proportional selection representing your region.

I dunno why but I just find Dianne Abbot's mannerisms unintentionally hilarious. The Tory is a bit pointless, like usual.
Genuine dross tonight. Only thing worth hearing was the doctor covering the strikes at the end, but obviously we only got a few minutes on that because the fecking EU is going to be taking up the entire thing for 17 weeks.
Well, if Britain leaves the EU we might have another couple of billion to add to the NHS' annual budget.
It's a pity that the SNP are so keen on exiting the UK political stage, i've heard more straight talking from people like Robertson and Hosie than many a senior Tory/Labour/Lib Dem. I don't agree with their position on the EU of course, but generally speaking the Commons would be far better off of a 60 MP bloc were committed to Westminster.

Yeah it's going to be a very tedious few months.
Just watching last week's episode now, how annoying is Liz Truss? I (the voter at home) want to know the salient points from each side in order to make an informed choice in this upcoming referendum. What I don't want to hear is some nonsense about how the side wanting to leave want no immigration and closed borders.
Jermaine Jenus on tonight
Louise Bours, Dominic Raab, John McDonnell and Zoe Williams... God help us all.
Seems like a lot of trouble to just answer a question about Adam Johnson.
Why?Jermaine Jenus on tonight
Had no idea he was that interested in politics...or not to the extent where I expected to see him on QT, anyway.
Not a good start by Jermaine. Comparing EU scare tactics to Rooney going to Real Madrid.
He kind of just made a really vague point about Wayne Rooney and Real Madrid which was supposed to relate to Europe or something, but didn't make any sense.
He lost me. I assume he had a pre-planned point and cocked it up. He's not daft though, if he's just himself he'll come back.
Well he hasn't embarrassed himself yet, that's the main thing. He just gave a so-so, generic, popular answer that won him a round of applause. At least he doesn't look too nervous.
The UKIPper is annoying.
Linking him moving to us, the profanity!
'We don't want anacranyms we need to support out SMEs'
I've hardly understood a word so far.

Can tell McDonnell's not a big EU fan and he's having to pretend he's really for staying.
