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.

Labour has held on to Hartlepool, with Jonathan Brash winning with a 7,698 majority. Doubled the 2019 majority
Reform 91% likely to take the seat in the exit poll, has DOUBLED the labour majority

The Economist projection is now Lab 420 Con 133 LD 53 Reform 2
Rees Mogg looked way too happy. I hope he hasn't got an inkling.
Kinnock's goatee is shite.
Lot of tactical voting and a lot of people looking at the odds to decide if they can safely lodge a vote for the party they want to win, or if they have to stick just to stopping the Tories.
45.4% turnout in Blackpool South
feck you Galloway
Galloway is gone.
feck off Galloway.
Okay, that Kinnock reaction is gold.
Galloway sulking all the way back to his litter tray!
Kinnock. 
Who did Kinnock say was repellent? I missed that bit
Galloway
2 seats too many for Reform but much better than 13. It would be great if the Lib/Dems could grab more Tory seats. I'd love to see them under 100. Is Rishi going to cling on to his seat?
George Galloway His supporters cheering too early was objectively funny
His supporters cheering too early was objectively funnyI really don't get it. I know Starmers a feck head but surely you'd come out and vote to stop the Torys, people havent bothered because they think its a forgone conclusion?
Wrexham labour GAIN
Ha, good on Kinnock
A combination of foregone conclusion and there being feck all difference between the parties on most things.
I've got a lot of time for Thornberry
Make voting compulsory. If you have a genuine desire not to vote then cop the small fine or better yet turn up and spoil your ballot. We have it here and typically get turnout north of 92% with the majority of the 7/8% being unable to vote as they are overseas or sick (or dead) or whatever.
It is important that the wrong Lizard doesn't get in.
Poor Eunice O’dame got called Eugene and had to correct it 
Lots never vote and some that do are so demoralised they can't be arsed with the lot of them.
Voter ID probably had a big impact on turnout.
I'm sure I've been gone for 20 minutes and Davey is still speaking. Shut up man.
It's not taking 10% off constituency turnouts.
Conservatives hold Cambridge North. feck off residents of Cambridge North.
It was designed to impact Labour voters too, so that doesn't explain the turnout and the Labour win IMO.
Thurrock is a great pickup
Still waiting on Holden having to use his return ticket...
Dennis Skinner would be happy
Has Starmer's vote total just halved?
19 votes for Elmo there, almost beat Keir Starmer.
Elmo
Elmo-mentum
Andrew Feinstein took a lot of his votes
Liberal Democrats gain Cheltenham from the Conservatives
