#TheGuardian's #MarinaHyde is the UK's queen of political snark. Today, she generously sprays well-calibrated snark over #Starmer and all his wannabe successors. https://archive.is/9uy3X
I particularly enjoyed her reminder of the deep flaws of #AndyBurnham. A large chunk of #LabourParty's remaining people who are not actually rightwingers seems to be fixated on #Burnham as a messiah. I don't buy it. Nor does Marina Hyde.
Thankfully, Hyde is no nicer about #Rayner, Streeting & Miliband.

CW: UKpol: Marina Hyde on Keir Starmer and his scapegoating habit
The ever excellent Marina Hyde on Keir Starmer's insatiable need for fall guys.
"It’s almost as if all branches of history lead to a discussion about Keir Starmer’s bad judgment. The only person who doesn’t judge this to be the situation is Keir Starmer, which is another instance of his bad judgment. Monday found him chuntering away at the dispatch box like an arsonist complaining about the price of matches."
"Starmer has morphed into the least appealing classroom character of all – the kid who blames everyone else for everything, snitching on anyone he can and dropping them in it to save himself."
Hyde's always worth reading.

@greenelects.world "the people don't want to hear the lefty nonsense Zack is saying"
Yes we do, and fuck you Punditry!
Go back to your castles!#UKPOL #UKPOLITICS #ZackPolanski #Punditry #MarinaHyde #GPEW #Greens #GreenParty

Zack Polanski not appealing to Marina Hyde is good thing. Kind of a relief actually.
I'm remember Bonnie Greer's review of her act, "she's funny, but so what?"

CW: UK politics: Marina Hyde on Reform and Dominic Cummings's sudden re-appearance
"There are currently two broad schools of thought around Reform. The first one is summed up by Dominic Cummings, who this week emerged to give a full interview explaining that he had absolutely no desire to return to politics, while observing that Farage will be prime minister if he builds the right team around him."
It is because of flawless assassination sentences such as these that we love and adore Marina Hyde.
The piece is only marginally about Mr Cummings, mainly about how the Reform party may just about manage to grab the majority vote of the UK's frustrated population, despite the party's manifest incompetence. Highly readable (as is everything by Marina Hyde).

CW: UKpol: Marina Hyde on the dishonesty of the Starmer government (mini reshuffle)
The excellent Marina Hyde's latest dissection of the Starmer government's failures and its fundamental dishonesty. Some sample quotes:
>> Hand on heart, meanwhile, I’m not sure the word “relentless” means what Starmer reckons it does. <<
>> Just as Batman reboots only ever promise to be even darker and even grittier, so Starmer reboots only ever promise to send for more grownups. Starmer has been claiming the grownups are coming since 2017. Doing it again now suggests he spent the first 14 months of government running an administration staffed by kids. <<
>> “We’re not putting on politics as entertainment.” Finally, a pledge on which the government has delivered. <<

#therestisentertainment by #goalhanger features #richardosman and #marinahyde
It's pretty good.
But they sign off each week with "See you next Tuesday"
Has no-one told them what that currently means?

CW: UK pol : Marina Hyde on Starmer, Sue Gray, and foolishness
Marina Hyde nails it, as ever.
"The sense that Labour has expended its political capital for such a tiny quantity of money and fancy things. Don’t get me wrong – 30 or 40 grand is obviously a huge amount of money in terms of clothes and luxury “eyewear” – but it is an absolutely minuscule sum to spaff almost all your electoral goodwill on."

'Behind every #AlFayed or #Diddy, there is a small army of #enablers: this column is dedicated to them
“Entourage” is too wan a word for this motley crew of enforcers, concealers, NDA experts and crisis PRs'

CW: UK politics: Marina Hyde on Starmer and his glasses
"It suggests that Starmer is a guy who talks to the public like an undertaker but in private likes the finer things. More than that, he feels entitled to them."
The ever-excellent Marina Hyde on Starmer, his luxury habits, his austerity policies, his policy team, and his lack of grip. Hyde once again nails it.

No idea if she came up with it but props to #MarinaHyde on this week's #RestIsEntertainment podcast for referring to Gwyneth Paltrow as 'Her Vajesty'.
EDIT - spelt Marina's name wrong. Corrected.

I mean, I was just laughing at #Laurence Fox but - as usual many steps ahead of me - the reliably excellent #MarinaHyde points out he is just one of "the idiot faces" of extreme right would-be oligarch #JeremyHosking
So much of what's wrong with our society can be traced back to actual malicious influence by specific super-rich individuals

CW: UK pol: Marina Hyde on rotten MPs
Marina Hyde on the never-ending series of misbehaving Tory MPs.
"With the supremely practised efficiency of an F1 pit crew, the Conservative party is once again rolling out the suspected-scumbag protocol."
"Is it that the place and its illusions of power sexually corrupts some people, or is it that sexually corrupt people are drawn to it? Or both?"
#MarinaHyde #Tories #UKpolitics
#PeterBone #CrispinBlunt #ChrisPincher #GetRidOfTheLot -
"Maybe police are working on a theory that an unspecified number of men are allegedly committing sexual offences as part of an elaborate plot to erode Rishi Sunak’s parliamentary majority."
I've lost count. What is the Tory parliamentary majority now?

#TheGuardian is now publishing opinion pieces about Twitter being full of lies and hatred, whilst also promoting use of site. The excellent #MarinaHyde writes about how untrustworthy it is, but is also trying to promote it

"You may recall that in the run-up to the 2010 election that would usher in 13 years of Conservative rule, one of David Cameron’s strongest attack lines against the then Labour prime minister, Gordon Brown, was that he 'didn’t fix the roof when the sun was shining'. It now emerges that the Conservatives didn’t fix the roof when they knew it was crumbling."

There was a line in the opening paragraph of this article that was so good, I was going to quote it. But the more I read, the more brilliant it became and there’s so much to quote, I’d better just post the article. It’s very much well worth a read.
