In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
More Tory chaos as it stands.
No chance.
What happens if its a hung parliament? I don't know much about UK politics
That's an interesting one. Impossible to say which is true
Hints from Sunderland?
If this does go how it's looking...
Cameron - arrogantly calls a referendum to cement his own position and give him political breathing room. Bye!
May - arrogantly calls an election to cement it's own position and give him political breathing room. Bye!

Scotland might be fannying this up though, innit 
need the SNP vote to hold up too
need the SNP vote to hold up too
Could be another election .May would step down. Or it could be a coalition of different parties
Heh, nice.
There's no free pass for anyone born and raised in Scotland voting Tory.
lots of options based on the exit poll.
The brits love a good under dog...I think it raised his stock personally. He also wouldn't have been able to have the same manifesto with a Blairite front bench.
Possible as both SNP and Lib dem are left leaning so more compatible with Labour. Would still be pretty difficult though.
Why are SNP losing so many seats?
Really really hope she loses.
ive only ever seen one alive badger.... it was growling at a cat..... my gran votes tory i once saw here showing a cat of her lawn with a broom..... coincidence? i think not!
Apparently there's a lot that are too close to call.
Unionists not wanting indyref2
Unions getting good at tactical voting by the looks of it.
Agreed, fecking unionist Labour going Tory. What is wrong with these people.
Uneducated guess? Referendum hype is down, and SNP have baggage from governing.
If Scotland and Wales put the Tories in power, it'd be such irony. They should have voted Labour.
Lots of horse trading to see if anyone can form a coalition first. Then if they can't, the Tories could have a minority government, but they'd be incredibly weak and prone to a vote of no confidence at basically any time.
"You'll remember me, when The Left's wind blows, upon your fields of barley. You can take The Sun, and the jealous Sky, and feck off to your fields of gold"
Ok shame it's wheat fields but hey you can't win them all.

Already talk of Tories having to rely on Lib Dems for supply and confidence in return for 2nd referendum.
They won almost very Scottish seat in 2015 following a contentious independence referendum, they were always going to make losses this time. The surprise is the tory rise there.

Does the party with the most seats form a Government?
In order to form a Government, a party must be able to command a majority in the House of Commons on votes of confidence and supply. This majority can include support from other political parties, whether or not there is a formal coalition arrangement.
In a situation of no overall control the Government in power before the General Election gets the first chance at creating a government. If they cannot do so, the Prime Minister will resign.
Does the Prime Minister have to resign?
The Prime Minister only has to resign if it is clear that they cannot command a majority of the House of Commons on votes of confidence or supply. This would be the case if the incumbent government fails to make a deal with one or more of the other parties, or if they lose a confidence motion in the House of Commons. The first parliamentary test would be the vote on any amendment to the Queen’s Speech.

anyone else on sky got the woman's dress flickering from red to blue and back again?
Well I'm off to bed. Woke up to unpleasant surprises for both the EU Ref and US Election. Hopefully a pleasant surprise this time around.
See you on the other side chaps.
See you on the other side chaps.
my Scottish relatives are voting tory becuase they don't want another independence referendum..... no idea if this is indicative of population as a whole though.
Where the feck is this Sunderland result?
Yeah sorry I'm talking shite(Being a Labour voter everything is a bit crazy at the moment), I somehow thought it was about Labour loses seats to the SNP and not the tories winning in Scotland.
No excuse to vote for the tories.
They are holding 56/59
Only way is down
People dont want to leave the UK, so will be losing votes by wanting a re-run there
And people not happy with a few things SNP have done in Scotland (schools?)
Etc
Thanks! Is a coalition is looking likely? Those still seem like very high numbers for the Tories. Why is everyone so happy?
Both parties calling BS on the poll.
Feel like SNP must be slightly higher, if there are tossups. Feel betrayed by Labour voters going Tory to keep out SNP, stupid feckers. Could have made a fecking coalition.
Had to Google it.
