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.
Not his biggest fan, far from it, but that was some diabolical brutality!This Johnson hearing is making me lose the will to live already.
I can't take this seriously whilst we still swear on a fecking bible.
You promise the biggest lie ever told that you won't tell a lie. Makes perfect sense

I like how he thinks that a bunch of drinks is essential. I wish someone would just say what about others? Hospitals etc. weren't having drinks to keep up morale
"I've prosecuted countless rapists"
Me? No.
Johnson was always going to be up there lying his arse off. It just made me laugh that we still pretend to tell the truth over a book.
Genius timing
Johnson is amazing.
The parties were crucial to the functioning of government, apparently, so exempt from the rules.

Passing drinks to each other was exempt, but the Prime Minister ensured no one borrowed each other's pens.
It's bizarre.
But he said "hand on heart" .... I mean case closed.
Watched par of that. It insults my intelligence.
“..including former Tory party members” is what I’d love to have heard"I've prosecuted countless rapists"
That shouldnt matter. Not knowing the law it doesnt exempt you to habing to adhere to you and doesnt exhonerate you of a crime.
If i am new to the UK and i dont know that you drive on the leftxand i start driving on the right, the police will still fine me the same as if i would know
Or at least that is how it should work in a healthy judiciary system. Now, we are talking about how corrupt who will take care of this is because is boris
The thing is, this is what Johnson does. It’s ridiculous and we all find it shameful and pathetic but in the end it will work and it will result in once again no consequences for his actions.
And once again this behaviour will be reinforced as the right approach for him to take, just like it has been since he was a little wanker at Eton.

I understood penis. What it would not be weird accounting how many kids bojo has
Sunak genuinely laughing it off sums the whole thing up
This is not about whether he broke the law or not. It is about whether on the balance of probability, he intentionally mislead parliament.
The key word is intentionally.
Yes. It is hilarious isn't it. And I am sure that the hundreds of thousands of people who lost a family member due to COVID will find it equally hilarious.
They can also consider recklessness too.
Just watching an excerpt of the MPs questioning Boris Johnson. He had told the Committee that he had replied on advice given to him by senior officials.
That being the case, he was then asked to tell the Committee who had actually told him that.
Boris then sat there waving his hands about opening his mouth but saying nothing in his usual bumbling then saying that he could not actually name anyone.
Priceless.

Correct.
He ultimately admitted the advice came from two paid media consultants who were employed to make him look good.
The "I didn't think it was against the rules, therefore it wasn't" defense just can't wash, can it?
The best thing here is that it is a Parliamentary committee deciding. Meaning if they say it cannot wash (and I hope they do) there is no appeal.
Very Nixon
And it's not even true, he's blatantly lying (shocker) when he says he didn't think it was against the rules.
Yeah, I think there's a fair chunk of Torydom that will never vote Labour, and the closer we get to an election the more they think who they will actually vote for, rather than answer as a protest. Labour majority still 8/13 on with Betfair, Tories 6/1 against. Good value on the Tories for anyone that thinks they're coming back I suppose.
I think we'll see a bit of a Tory slide in the polls in the aftermath of Rishi Sunak getting his Northern Ireland Brexit deal over the line. Farage has gone full on Brexit is ruined mode and you have to feel some long time Tory voters might take some votes away.
I thought this was a Viz spoof at first, when a friend sent me the link. Not sure which is worse out of the teaser and the headline.

At least they're not talking about Rishi's taxes. The devious little scrote.
I'd be interested to hear how that date went.
"I'll have the vegan quinoa salad served in an ethically sourced wicker basket please"
"Bring me the British beef in migrant baby jus, serf"
You would expect the DM to come down on Boris side and against ******* Harman because she is a Labour chairwoman.
But to me, the case against Boris is very simple.
He is obviously quite intelligent.
He stood up night after night both listening to the chief medical officer and chief scientific officer as well as him telling us what we should and should not do.
So when he went to those parties, if he was not sure what he was allowed to do within the COVID restrictions, all he should have done was to make a quick phone call to those people.
But he didn't even do that and is now blaming others for not giving him the proper advice.
It was a pathetic defence despite what his followers are trying to make out.
JRM said last night that the 'court of public opinion would have clearly come down on the side of Boris'.....
Oh really.
or Boris would say... "there I was showing off my skills with the 'twirling machete' trick and this guy walked into it... it wasn't my fault now was it?"
