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.
Anyone would think he didn't like Eboue or something..
Oscie was mental, definition of extreme centre 
I see. Well some of that was fair enough, especially about Eboue, but I never saw his weird obsession with age coming. I mean I'm old ok, but surely the lefties he tended to argue with are on the younger side? Maybe they're not, I don't know, but if he's found himself a forum of exclusively 18 year-olds then good luck to him, he'll need it.
Remember the poor guy in the Corbyn thread who laid into him at every opportunity, in the days when oooooo Jeremy Corbyn was still a thing, was thread banned, went on a rant and was perma banned?
Wish he was still here now, just so he could tell the fanbois, "I told you so". I thought he was entertaining, RIP Oscie
Was quite amusing when he wound up the Corbyn fanboys. Although I thought they are under 30 criticising older people who had it so easy and following a 70 year old who wants to share out everybody's possessions - in my day it was called stealing.
For young people you've got that the wrong way round, they call stealing 'taxing'.
Oh cmon. By painting labour as the brexit party it is under Corbyn, the more likely they are to attract labour remain voters. Telling everyone they won’t do business with the brexiteer Corbyn reinforces their credentials and further weakens labour. It’s good politics to use their opponents weakness against them.
Or put more simply, their message is, if you hate Corbyn’s brexit, vote for Lib Dem’s and they will give him a kicking.
I don't mean paying tax - no problems with people paying tax nor with people earning more paying more tax. In fact I don't think people in the UK pay anywhere near enough tax. They should put that in the next Labour manifesto that all taxes should be raised by 10% starting at 30%. I'm sure it will win a lot of votes.
I missed it too.The long death of the conservative party continues.
I hate how true to life that shows was.
The worrying thing for the tories is that Liz Truss is actually trying.
n the last members poll Boris is showing at 67.35% (though with 3.61% showing as other)... as he has gone this far without gashing it up id say over 60% looks very likely... id still guess in the 65-70% range with 62.5 to 72.5 being a broader bet

Boris Johnson denies No 10 tried to block his access to intelligence
This headline keeps catching my eye - I would say No.10 were very successful.

Conservative leadership race: Voters 'issued two ballots'
Could this whole situation get any more farcical?

If you wanted to be really chaotic you would vote twice and send them both in separately - but one vote for Bojo and one for Hnut.
You just know this was someone who grew up in the 60s and came from a privileged upbringing.
That person should admire the immigrants who come here with nothing and make something for themselves then.
Bet his 'lucky' shoes weren't priced at a hundred f*cking pounds though; and he's the type who sets that price after, no doubt, 'pulling himself up by his bootstraps'.
What point is that making?
That our next PM is being decided by a bunch of delusional old farts.
I used to think there's no way Trump gets elected here but I'm not so sure these days.
Also worryingly lacking in any sort of empathy for the younger generations.
Isn't the average age of the Tory membership something daft like 65?
Incredible that they get to elect the next PM.

Some people will see those stats and still not bother to vote.
Must have seen her polling numbers.
In fairness, that sentiment seems to go both ways and then some.
Stella Creasey and Conor McGinn making actual change from the backbenches, great to see and great for NI.
I feel like we're at a low point UK politics.
I tend to have the stomach to watch most politics even that of which i disagree but switching this debate on between Hunt and Boris and my god its intolerable.

It's excruciating. Same old bs being trotted out.
No-one challenging Johnson's clear lies on no tariffs again...
Hunt coming out of this better
“Overwhelming verdict”
'Vanishingly inexpensive'.
Hunt brings up Boris voted for the Withdrawal Agreement he's now saying is unacceptable. We could get into a discussion about how he says one thing and then does the opposite...no, let's have a pointless hand raising game instead.
What a media we have. Yet another face happy to let the mop haired gimp walk all over them.

I'm reaching the point where I want to see Boris as PM just to see how terrible he actually is.
Of course then I remember that he won't lose out much, whereas ordinary people will.
