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.
Is Dorries really going to win an election, or Truss??
There is literally no one that they can put forward that is capable of winning.
Never underestimate labours ability to fek it up
I still hope that some Labour Lib, Green, SNP alliance around PR is the outcome
This is what I was suggesting to a mate earlier. Whether its before or after the 1922 committee meets, Sir Graham Brady goes to see Boris and Boris resigns tomorrow. One thing a narcisist hates more than quitting: losing. If Graham Brady says the committee have agreed to change the rules, I think Boris will know its the end of the line.
I'm not really sure you can go and say "we will change the rules" without holding the vote to actually change the rules. I suppose you could have a vote on "would you change the rules if the PM doesn't resign".
Its simple really, when Boris is gone and the new knight in shining armour takes over as Tory PM, Starmer must not allow this person (and the RW press) to paint him as being soft on Unions, as the new PM will say 'look what you get with Labour'/ or Labour isn't working (one they used before).
This assumes the strikes spread and continue throughout the summer and into autumn or even winter, cannot see a Tory leader (whoever it is) taking a different stance than Boris... but he/she will tell you about it and not deny it!
Starmer putting the knife in.
Starmer doing well here
Where are the by-elections??
If these people truly hated Boris, they would resign and force by-elections.

"Sinking ship fleeing the rat" 
'The Charge of the Light-Weight Brigade' Zing!
Boris' going for the greatest hits of nonsense retorts. Like shooting fish in a barrel for Starmer.
This is good from Kier, some good lines
Starmer has been both serious and delivered some genuinely funny quips.
He's absolutely destroyed Johnson here
He's absolutely destroyed Johnson here
Johnson is truly a pathetic figure.
I wish the Labour lot would shut up when Boris speaks - it's funny to hear the silence from his bench
Ian Blackford seems just fed up
Starmer absolutely bodied Johnson there.
Johnson drowning
True but the silence was telling in the fact that Starmer managed to get his point across without being shouted at by baying Tories.
Also being asked whether there are any situations where he would resign by his own MP is hilarious.
Shame Patel missed this. Would have liked to see her smug face when Starmer brought up her bullying.
The front bench of the Tory lot seem very distracted
Tories attacking Mayor of London. Yep, that's the real issue here.
Clapping
Munira Wilson with a great quote from Boris himself
where is she?
Gove isn't there either.
Who said this? Quite a good line."Sinking ship fleeing the rat"
What is the point of him hanging on like this? Is it just to buy his wife time to remove the golden wallpaper so they can take it with them?
Starmer, he had quite a few that even Boris smiled at
Statement from Sajid Javid
His ego is so huge he just cannot fathom the idea of doing the right thing.
Probably screaming at her spads to craft a better resignation letter.
Trump and Boris, two narcissists who can never admit defeat.
The content of letters are a load of shite as well.
Quite a statement from Javid
