In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Most voters believe violence against MPs 'is price worth paying' over Brexit

Not sure I'd trust that, the swing from CON to LAB seems a bit overboard.
I don’t buy that. As long as he gets a date not long after, they’ll quickly forget about the Oct 31st do or die nonsense. Just like they did with March 29th.
Is it not more of a defection from Con to Brex? If so the question is where will those voters go after Brexit.
Straight back to Con probably. In every sense of the term.
That poll is also a week out of date now... And as the saying goes a week is a long time in politics

That has conservatives on 37 and labour on 22 with Brexit on 11...
I think Things can move a lot between now and December 12 (or another date) ... If the brexit party stand everywhere or not will.perhaps play a big part in the outcome ... And I still wouldn't be shocked to see a non aggression pact between brexit and conservatives (provided Boris promices nigel.a cushy number when his EU gravy train runs dry)

Ah, so it's a bit old. Fair point, but seemed like Lab had clawed a few points back from Lib.
As it stands the UK will have left the EU in less than 7 days. Possibility that the EU may not give a decision until after parliament have voted on whether to have an election.
That's my guess too.

Idiocracy is doing well everywhere these days.
Anyone who uses this movie for reference should be sentence to 10 years of hard labour.
labour is at around 25 in most polls so not big swing. more like con -> bxp.
Won't volutility in some seats were Brexit is a big deal one way or another be where this election is won and lost - tactical voting could be very important.
It would be a travesty if an election was fought on a party's Brexit stance only.
We shouldn't be having an election anyway, we have to respect the will of the 2017 voters. It's an OWTRAJE!!!
Since brexit is all anyone has been talking about recently, completely dominates political thinking, and is behind a visible once in a generation realignment, you’d be lucky if the election is about anything else.
Labor will try but BoJo and his merry band of Brexiteers won't let them.
If Labour had formed an honest policy on Brexit sometime over the last three and half years it wouldn't be a problem for them. Much as I don't like the Tories they would be stupid not to take electoral advantage of it.
The fact there is anything to take advantage of makes me think my country of birth is doomed.

I agree with Baldrick.
The fact the government are out today saying to the media that they won't put anything to parliament including what was in the queen speech unless Labour agree to a GE because his deal MIGHT get amendments is pathetic.
They're essentially saying if we can't just pass everything we want then we won't bother governing. I mean why bother with parliament
Government on strike. I have never heard anything like that in my life.
See Brain of Britain Corbyn is insisting on ruling out no deal - if the EU don't reply, you're out mate.
It's a bold strategy. I'm not sure how a Tory government going on strike is going to play with their union hating base to be honest.
It's not a given. Theresa May tried to have a Brexit election but she got railroaded because people's lives don't revolve around Brexit.
It disgusts me that everywhere I go, even at my kids nursery there's a collection for the local foodbank. I just can't see how this country can vote Tory!
Good bloody grief.
Blimey that's bad. I want Lib Dems to run a good campaign as they need those southern seats but i can only see them ballsing it all up.Good bloody grief.
I mean that's not going to happen is it?
Of course not. The EU don't want to be responsible for a no deal. Paul the wolf just likes to attack Corbyn constantly and, I have to say, doesn't appear to let facts get in the way.
The only way no deal gets ‘taken off the table’ though is either by passing a deal or revoking A50. Otherwise Corbyn will be waiting a long time.
I'm at a point where I think the best thing that can happen for the country (if there's not another referendum) is a GE and a hung parliament. It woulf force the shower we have elected to work with each other.
I've not heard anyone say permanently off the table just for the interim to allow an election.
Unfortunately this deal doesn't take no deal impacts off the table. If people vote Tory in the election they're voting for a WTO brexit by default

Probably not, but it could and it's not in Johnson's or Corbyn's hands. Benn made Johnson ask for an extension which he did, that doesn't stop no deal - the only certain way to stop no deal is to revoke or get an agreement.
EU delays decision on Extension until after Mondays vote in the Commons on an election.
That has nothing whatsoever to do with Corbyn wanting to protect the UK from an economic crash and everything to do with the fact that if BJ takes no-deal off the table the Brexit party will split the Tory vote.
Maybe, but Johnson can't take no deal off the table even if he wanted to.
