In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
This speech has turned into a party political broadcast
Sunak, is one the greatest advertisements for why you should never, ever listen to billionaires on anything other than where to offshore your money.
Absolutely zero to offer, no ability, charisma or charm. No imagination, no ideas, just a suit spewing sound bites created by a Russell Group SPAD.
Good riddance.

It’s amazing how these guys can lie and there’s absolutely no consequence
The weather provided metaphor is incredibly on point.
- furlough scheme
- planes to Rwanda
- smoking ban
- record spending on NHS (citation required)
- improved childhood literacy (citation required)
- scrapping green energy targets
Apparently Rishi has done lots to make the world a better place for our children. That's me persuaded. I'm off to drink some more paint and then vote Tory because only they can be trusted to run our country mmm yummy paint vote tory stop the botes painty painty paint yum.

Inspiring man.
a real man would have recorded that in the rain.
If only he could spell Switch (1:19)
His staff is young and went to tory funded schools. Cut them some slack.
He's got all the charisma of a ruptured bollock.
Harsh on ball sacks.
No thanks. There won't be real change with this incarnation of Labour. They are more Centre right than Cameron in 2010.
Will be great to see the back of the Tories. But to what end?
You mean calling the election?
fair pointRishi, the man who gave us shit flavoured water. A true hero.
I know many people have issues with Starmer's Labour and they're right to, but I'd take anything right now to get rid of this jumped up streak of wet piss.
Surely more centre right means they're left of Cameron
Let's see the back of him.
I was only two weeks out
Perhaps some symbolism behind the date.
starmer with a lot of work to do now that rishi has shown that he can do it on a wet wednesday evening in sw1.
The day after the local elections, someone wrote that the Green Party will be declared anti-semitic in about 2 months. They've done it even faster!

Very good.
Thank you
The hero we deserve.
Which one is Rishi?
So Nathalie Elphicke's career as a Labour MP didn't last very long - 2 weeks and counting - or did it?

Oh my god that would be so funny!
Honestly it would almost be worth enduring a few more months of Tory rule, just on the basis that if they do that they will obliterate whatever remnants of public support they are still clinging to - it would be a genuinely existential blow to the Tories.
Only the Tories could be given free will on when and how to call an election and screw it up so badly.

Don't worry, she's already been promised a job with the party without that whole accountability at the ballot box thing that gets in the way.
So Sunak's amazing pitch is don't vote Labour because they will not implement my plans?
Rwanda flights can't leave before 4 July, therefore it is Starmer's fault that they will probably never leave.

Is that definite? I'd read somewhere they're hoping to get at least one off by then and think they can. I guess the number of boats coming over is going to increase massively as summer gets going, so they want to avoid that backdrop.
