Marina Hyde is leaving the Guardian after 25 years. I'm sure we'll read more of her work elsewhere because she's too damned good to lose.

CW: UKpol: Marina Hyde making sense of Nigel Farage (undercover op by Verbatim)
This week the odious Nigel Farage and his odious underlings were exposed in a fine piece of undercover work by Lawrence Carter and LouisWilson, shown on C4 News.
The brilliant Marina Hyde helpfully pours her own acid into the Reform wound:
"Dan Jukes is one of the many Farage aides to physically resemble an Apprentice candidate who crashes out in week four after miscalculating quantities in the sweetshop task."
"I always picture Reform’s internal affairs department as a toy phone ringing out in an abandoned wendy house."
"Watching the footage, it’s fairly difficult to conclude anything other than that we are dealing with a bunch of preposterously self-regarding amateurs."
The Hyde article:

CW: UK politics: Marina Hyde on the unfathomably slow death of the Starmer government
《 Some believe that – like the phrase “heat death of the universe” – the “end of Keir Starmer” may sound like it should be a cataclysmically white-flash event, but will actually unfold over trillions of years. 》
The always excellent Marina Hyde would want the unending Starmer agony to end, as we all do.
She also wonders why the rest of the contenders for the job are so unconvincing and shallow.
Joyless times we live in, politically speaking. At least we've got gallows humour and Marina Hyde.

#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.

CW: UK politics / UK Labour: Marina Hyde has had enough
Marina Hyde in top form. She's had enough of the Starmer government, and she's had enough of those setting themselves up for the succession.
Being Marina Hyde, she wields powerful images.
The Labour government "trodding on people like the Serengeti wildebeast migration --- a million cock-ups and U-turns stampeding over a squashed Britain."
The government "delivers like Evri. Your promised incremental change has been left in a safe place. Not _your_ safe place, obviously, but somewhere you may never find."
The UK "has had more CEOs in a decade than a failing 00s telecom firm. We're basically Yahoo."
She's so good at scorn. And they so deserve it.

The upside down world of Terf Island will have us believe a gay man is obsessed with woman's breasts, a story contrived in The Sun ten years ago.
Next they'll be telling us that the predators aren't cis-hetrosexual guys, but anyone who doesn't fit the old gender narrative.And the Brits will lap it up, while saying propaganda only works on other people

CW: UKpol: Marina Hyde on Starmer, Reeves and the budget
"Tell you what Rachel Reeves won't raise: fuel duty on circus vehicles."
Marina Hyde applies her finest gallows humour to the state of UK Labour: the strategic vacuity and tactical incompetence of the Starmer team, and the dizzying pre-budget disintegration of Reeves's autumn budget.
As far as UK Labour is concerned, gallows humour is all we are left with.

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. <<
