Lucy Powell targets Manchester United fans with cheeky jibe

Education Minister Lucy Powell, a dedicated Manchester City supporter, has sparked controversy following her scathing remarks aimed at Manchester United fans. Speaking at a party conference, the well-known politician took a direct shot at the supporters of the 'Red Devils'.

"Can I just say to all those United fans who have been smug all week: you’re all rubbish, and you know it," Powell declared.

This remark quickly went viral on social media, igniting a heated debate among football fans. Reactions have split the audience between those who appreciated the classic British football banter and those who felt such words were inappropriate coming from a minister.
