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.
Well, we lost the PM and Chancellor who both wanted to remain, and got a new PM and Chancellor who both wanted to remain
I think you guys are only pretending to do this stuff now. You're just trolling the rest of the world.
"Taking back control".
Yep. David Cameron might just be thinking, why did I decide to resign?
George Osborne must be kicking himself. Probably thought he had no chance and that a Brexiter like Boris was guaranteed to get the job. Instead he'd have only been up against May, and might have even had a reasonable shot at the top job considering so much has happened since his budget slip-ups.
We had a marvellous time earlier where "taking back control" led to an un-elected, over-pampered member of the establishment for decades being in charge of the country.
Lotsa difference. Cameron was pro-EU. May and Hammond are Eurosceptic. Cameron would never trigger the exit clause. May would.
I think it's a shrewd move. May is considered practical and realistic and probably the best to lead UK out of EU..... If not for the BoJo appointment, which was freaking ridiculous.
May I just say what in the actual feck to Cameron's comment that he leaves Britain a stronger country? He must have totally lost it.

I've always found it kind of funny that when the new PM goes to meet the Queen, the Queen then asks them to form a government. I'm just waiting for the future PM who's in it for a joke, wins, gets asked by the queen to form a government, and says, "Nah, you're alright.", before pissing off.
They may have outwardly voted for Remain, perhaps to support Cameron, but their private vote may have been to Leave.
I think she was on the fence on Brexit. She always had a hardline stance on immigration (supports Leave) but was also aware of the financial benefits (supports Remain). I believe she was playing politics in voting Remain but not pledging in fully...and it seems to have worked. Brexit crowd is not exactly unhappy with her and the compromise won her the PM post.
Most politicians who voted or supported Leave seem to have a firm belief that they can have access to Single Market without opening immigration. Personally, I believe it's a blind stupidity as EU would never allow it (as it means anyone can break away with minimal impact). Time will tell.
