In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Con GAIN from LibDem

SNP gain East Lothian from Labour.
Around the time of Brexit there was a debate here about re-alignment. I thought Labour would be impossible split into two then. After 2017 it looked much better and I ignored all that. Looks like the formal split has happened now. Labour have kept their gains in London, but have lost their old seats.
Who is reading the news at the moment, she's lovely
SNP gain East Renfrew from Tories.
The Conservative win West Bromwich East - the seat of former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson.
The initial YouGov MRP wins again.
A watch for those on the left consoling themselves and left pondering tonight, from an American left wing perspective
It would appear that Brexit has split Labour & not the Torys.
BBC have revised the Cons to 357 and Labour to 201.
The thing about the right, broadly speaking (and not specific to UK politics), is that for whatever reason they can set aside even the starkest of differences they might have with themselves and turn up when it really matters as election time comes.
And unfortunately this is all happening whilst the left are too busy bickering amongst themselves.
I voted LibDem, but it was wasted in Theresa May's constituency. At least I have stuck to my pro remain principles.
Well I know Wrexham, Darlington and Stoke are strong leave areas.
2017 Labour was honouring brexit, Mr Corbyn and McDonnell were the same people they are today. 2019 they put remain on the vote, Labour leavers don't want that so what happens is you torpedo the base you had in 2017. Labour have seen a large drop off.
They've strongly underestimated what bringing remain back has done in my opinion.
LibDems retain Richmond which kicks out that tory racist Zac Goldsmith out of parliament
LD gain in Richmond!
So far no-one giving credit to Boris and his strategy. He has smashed the Red Wall. He has re-positioned his party as no longer a Southern Party, but a Northern party too, as well as parts of Wales. He got a deal that no-one said he could, took the risk of an election which May screwed up, got a deal that united his party enough to pass the previous parliament, a more popular deal and PM than May, he moved the party to the left in the way that Blair moved Labour to the right by adding things like increases to the Minimum Working Wage and putting NHS as a main policy. He also ended the divide in his party over Europe that it has had my entire life, and proven he was democratically right to do so. He's set for a landslide victory that demolishes the Labour Party. I think people have severely underestimated him, he portrays himself as an amiable fool, but he has a sense for what is popular. And he will have more power over his party than any Tory leader since Thatcher.
Raab wins his seat, and ITV stick to 80+ seats prediction.

This is damning of Labour's attempts to persuade the poor that they're the party for them.The hope of the left - to unify the working class + youth vote - dies with culture war (Brexit)

Well at the very least at least now we'll finally be done with all the Brexit rubbish and can finally see how leaving works out. It's been beyond tedious the constant Brexit-related drama over the last 4 years.
Just a shame it has to be through a Boris led government. Hopefully this kick starts some serious change within the Labour party because quite frankly they've been a joke over the last 5 years.

Well done England! Electorate world over don't seem to be learning from their mistakes, so would you?
Jewish candidate with a Chanukah on next to Corbyn.
What is his user name on here?
This should be funny. C'mon Jezza, what have you got to say?
It’s a good analysis but let’s also keep it real too; most people just aren’t very intelligent and are single issue voters. Largely against their own self interests. Boris, like Trump, has tapped into the psyche of the legions of dummies
Truth. Reality. It’s bleak.
Positioning for the next leadership election, little else.
I was really hoping Raab would lose his seat.
SNP huge gain in Stirling from Tories.
Seems strange that the Brexit candidate appears to be a nice Jewish boy.
I think you'll find that's called a kippa, btw
Corbyn:
1. Blame the media
2. Blame Brexit, not his policies

Feck off Corbyn
I've said it elsewhere but in this social media age the right has figured out, through cynical and dishonest means, how to convince many poor voters to vote against their own economic interests. It makes me very sad,
Corbyn quits. Don’t think blaming it all on the media and Brexit was very brave though.
At least Bush and Trumps elections were close. Fecking Britain ey.
Shut up Jezza, you blew it.
