The daily mail guy is out of depth at QT. Says it all about them really.

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'm just amazed Alastair Campbell has apparently managed to go an entire evening without masturbating while looking into a mirror.
Or maybe he's insisted one is put under his part of the set.

I'm watching on 15 mins delay. Am loving the O'Donnell v Campbell ding dong.
Christ what a shit show.
Liked when he said to the 16 year old 'you should be on the panel'.
Yeah, instead of him would have been a good idea.
Yeah, it was the worst edition in a while.
I bet Soubry was fit at 20.
Best in yonks!
Only because Labour are being ripped to shreds on national TV
All I can think of when I watch Question Time is how sweet it'll be when I one day buy my own house in some remote area away from everyone else.
Yeah! Campbell rightly shredding Tories over Brexit too tbf.Only because Labour are being ripped to shreds on national TV
Dimbleby wants to nail that 16 year old.
The question is, what Labour?Only because Labour are being ripped to shreds on national TV
As much as I'd prefer it to have taken place at the Hague, Campbell's first attempt at stand-up comedy was a raging success. I say comedy as the alternative is that it's one of the most hypocritical things ever uttered in the history of broadcasting. Scaremongering on steroids to secure a vote for something that doesn't even have a plan drawn up on the back of a fag packet. Now where have I heard that before...
Your name is Dimbleby?
New Labour and the Old New Labour... or something.
John McDonnell is an absolute fecking joke.
Tbh I'd still activate her Article 50 for a laugh.
Yeah he kinda is. I sympathise with Corbyn to an extent but when your main man is paying an annual subscription to the IRA (probably) it's kinda difficult to keep that sympathy going.
Something like that. The 'Labour Party' hasn't been seen in a long long time and probably never will be again.
WE WON THREE GENERAL ELECTIONS! He was personal with John not Corbyn though.
She looked older than her years and was a Brexiteer.
She's like Christine Hamilton's fitter sister.
I wonder if part of the unity campaign may involve a new shadow chancellor. If the rebel MPs -- or 80% of the PLP, making the pro-Corbyn MPs the rebels -- back Corbyn, it'll have to come at a price.
Would Corbyn ever ditch John?
Probably not, which is half the reason the party is fecked. There needs to be a compromise. Even a reshuffle post leadership election that promotes Hillary Benn (or someone of that ilk) and moves McDonnell to Shadow Foreign Sec or something.
I'll chip in now if you'll feck you off sooner.
Give us £10k
Always been a fan of the three elections line. If I thought I could cope with seeing his face for the next 5 years, I'd love New New Labour to have Blair come out publically in support of their leadership candidate and the candidate fully embrace it. Not in the wishy washy anti-Corbyn way of the current challenge, let the PLP put the man's legacy to the test.
Hillary Benn is only a compromise if the alternative is Skeletor.
I'm not a fan either, but the PLP will have to back Corbyn and I can't see it happening without some kind of significant compromise. One of the rebel MPs' poster boys will have to take up a prominent position of some sort. The alternative is a split -- which might not be the worst case scenario.
Not the best of nights for McDonnell, though, being branded a Marxist (by himself).
Skeletor would get the protest vote from people of a certain age.Sad thing is, the Tories are that divided they can't capitalise and annihilate Labour.
I would imagine that there is too much animosity between Corbyn and Benn for him to be promoted to Shadow Chancellor.
What could be of interest, is whether Umunna or Jarvis for example, decide that their leadership prospects will benefit from a stint in the shadow cabinet. Nothing too senior as they'd want some scope for deniability, but a national profile nonetheless.

It's a mite inconvenient for her, this long term shift in the oil price. And were they to leave the UK in favour of the EU, i doubt Brussels would be open to them keeping Sterling.
Yet being a happy Brexiteer, i am not about to tell a Scot that they are wrong for wondering if independence is the way for them. Only that the SNP be more honest about the possible side effects.
Nah that Question Time went well from McDonnell's point of view, got some fan-pleasing attacks in on Campbell, got to pretend he was outraged at Soubry, reminded people that he was a Marxist, got to say that Jeremy was honest several times without anyone bringing up trains, got to repeatedly lie that Labour were ahead in the polls before the rebellion without much blowback. He doesn't care how it comes across to most of the electorate, the only one that matters is the Labour membership. Corbyn's not getting rid of him, least of all for a moderate. And more to the point, none of them are going to want to be associated with him.
I don't think either of those are likely, for starters the PLP struggle to back the PLP nevermind anyone else. Bar sending Hillary Benn to run a new Labour branch in Baghdad, none of them jump out as candidates for a job that may require principles capable of surviving ******* Harman wanting them to do the opposite.
Crap episode, after the grammar school debate ended. QT pisses me off sometimes, they seem content to let bickering go on to get media coverage at the expensive of getting anything of any value out of it. Dimblebee could chair a lot better, stop people talking over each other etc and have a more watchable programme as a result.
Incredible no one took issue with the Corbyn is honest crap. From John McDonnell no less.
Their relationship is basically equivalent to Cersei and Tommen in GoT.

"You want the moderate Labour, but you need the bad socialist."
I can't see that happening... chukka is too embedded in progress etc and momentum just wouldn't stand for it
As for jarvis it does not matter what brief you give him but sometime between now and the end of the year you have him speaking in the commons in the trident debate... and then it's Benn all over again
ditto. Smug cnut.
Mason is a moron having a mid-life crisis.
