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.
hopefully now that corbyn is gone, others will see her bias for what it is. (remembering the reaction here to the "pretty grim encounter")
She’s realised she can act with impunity, taken the mask off and just become an open and unashamed government propagandist now. Actively replying to a fellow journalists’s scoop within 8 minutes of it breaking citing anonymous sources to refute it
and the taxpayer is funding her to do this. I know exactly what she’s like and even I’m in shock at the brazenness of this latest attempt to protect CummingsGod if this story brings down both Cummings and Kuenssberg I'll spunk myself dry.
Pathetic from Kuenssberg. It’s embarrassing.
Wild prediction: they’ll both emerge unscathed.
Almost certainly.
BBC: 'Police charge lockdown-breaker Dominic Cummings with possession of terrible tracksuit bottoms. Laura Kuenssberg promoted to Director General'.
Even he was fired or resigned, he'd carry on being what he supposedly is: an 'unofficial' adviser'.
Haven't we heard enough from Laura tonight?
It shouldn't matter if he 'isn't remotely bothered'.
I'm going to complain to the BBC about Laura K.
Equally as important as the above though, is that Cummings gets the boot.

Of course he isn't worried, Boris wont dare give him the push and he sure as feck won't walk himself.
It's fake news yet they've admitted to doing it and have tried to excuse it. Are we just following the Trump/Post Truth playbook from now on?
I'm sure he's smart enough to have plenty of dirt on stupid Johnson. The question is, will he accept a pay-off and a lucrative move into the private sector to save Johnson's job. I suspect he will and the blame can once again be shifted away from MPs.
This may not be the straw that breaks the donkey's back. But that ass can't take much more of a beating before even the tories get sick of it.
I used to think some of the criticism she received was ridiculous but she has become a shocking journalist. No attempt to find the truth, just parrots "government sources". Apparently, her "source close to Cummings" is Cummings himself.
They’ve been following that playbook for a while now.
It's actually unbelievable that she parrots this stuff with no critical thought.
None of the above is any less acceptable or within regulations.
Nothing will happen.
They run things now. Get used to it.

A fecking kid could do what she's doing. She's no longer a journalist. Peter Oborne had an excellent article about her and Peston. Zero desire to dig deeper. Just copy and past what your "government source" says.
Why is Peston so shit? Is he a closet tory too or just up his own arse?
Remember when the left complained about her bias and it was because we were sexist and we couldn't stand criticism of Corbyn. Yeah that was cool.
He is definitely up his own arse. Just last week, he was essentially calling another jourmalist's source rubbish.
......
It's alright as long as you believe you are acting responisbly and legally. It's how I always get out of traffic fines!
Don't waste your time. When she reported a story that literally never happened they decided they could find no evidence that she didn't check its validity before doing so.
More chance of the parasites in Buckingham Palace losing their jobs than Law Haw.
Unless they're tinted and it's enforced Tory criminality, eh Michael?

Of course they're not going to bloody sack him, they're a bunch of bottle jobs. Jaywick wasn't made to resign or get the sack after he delivered a takeaway to his parents and he's a minister.
This is what happens when you vote for a bunch of scumbags folks.

This country is a fecking joke, as always.
Are there any journalists/news sources that can be trusted anymore?
'Normally they would resign or be sacked' - me, every week.
