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.

BBC now project 405 for Labour. 154 for Conservatives. Reform down to 4.
FABRICANT DEFEATED!!! 
The best story of the night is the unveiling of the tomb the Tories built for themselves
OMG The greens cost labour Great Yarmouth.
Is he finally going to take off the wig and give up the Boris clowning cosplay now?FABRICANT DEFEATED!!!
But once the party had made its decision then it was in her hands, and here we have the result, which is the worst for everyone sadly.
Greens candidate staying in has given Reform their third seat. Infuriating.
Former Southampton owner, Rupert Lowe wins Great Yarmouth
I agree, but we can't forget that the party decision was also, evidently, shite. (sorry for the language, I'm fairly drunk).
Ed Balls accidentally let slip that the Starmer Party view is IDS is a price worth paying.
Starmer has more in common with that husk than he does with someone like Shaheen. Hardly surprising.
ITV forecast has Labour at 414, Tories 130 and Reform at 10.
The Green vote isn't all left wing. We cannot simply blame the other parties for these failures.
Grinner temporarily in charge of the BBC graphics as they bring up 'the Muslim VoteTM' stats.
Green candidate standing down wouldn't have done enough. Can't assume Green voters automatically vote Labour if their choice is taken away.
This is the same argument the Tories are making about Reform taking away their votes.
maybe not all, but if the greens and lib dem withdrew, i think Labour easily gets enough from them.
Labour's Thangam Debbonaire beaten by Green's co-leader Carla Denyer
shouldn't have said just greens, Greens and Lib Dems standing down likely gives labour enough. It's a shame.
Great Yarmouth is, sadly, a good win for Reform.
Edit. Attention really needs to be given to the East Coast. This is a cry of misery.

If it takes two parties withdrawing entirely from an election to give Labour a chance, then perhaps that candidate's chances weren't particularly rosy to begin with. There's a fair bit to separate the greens, lib dems and this current iteration of the Labour party.
Suella wins easily. She's going to lead the party isn't she.
At least Thangam has got the lucrative Dennis Nilsen lookalike work to fall back on before she gets put in the Lords.
withdrawing and telling your voters to vote labour to keep reform out would've had an impact. Keeping Reform out is the highest priority.
Jessica Sian Louise Brown Fuller wins the poshest name award.
I'd say Labor's decision and her ego trip after that are both to blame.
How is that relative to the expectations before the election?
Why are they showing Suella's speech instead of Lammy's?
Relatively good for the Tories.
Braverman's speech is... odd.
Suella won and she thanks "The Police" in her win. What a clown.
She doesn't have any constituents she was never an MP or councillor. She was parachuted in there in 2019 after the previous candidate ran IDS extremely close in 2017 and still she didn't win. She should have stood down especially since she had just had a baby. She put that aside despite knowing she could never win. She didn't care about her constituents, only about herself.
Shadow minister loses seat as Greens win Bristol Central
Labour's shadow culture secretary Thangam Debbonaire has lost her seat to one of the Green Party's co-leaders.
Carla Denyer has taken the seat with a majority of over 10,000 votes.

Disappointing for Labour and good for Tories. Some projections had Labour winning north of 430 seats. ITV forecast disagrees with the BBC though.
Thank you. Wow, I didn’t know that the expectations were so bad for them.
feck sake. Holden won.
Labour lost Basildon by 21 votes
FFS
Green 2000+ Well done

What a heap of horseshit. Evidently she would have won if left to her own devices. Labour decided to ratfeck her. She decided to ratfeck Labour. Everybody lost.
