#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.

That picture needs to be continuously reposted to his ‘supporters’ with the caption, Niggles supports the increase in your energy bills folks. Just think what he might do next, no NHS, no Rule of Law, no Vaccines…..

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

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: 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. <<

"Some numbers haven’t changed, though – the tally of people charged for ruining this many thousands of lives still stands at precisely zero."
The always excellent Marina Hyde on the lack of progress in the shameful Post Office debacle. She normaly takes a slightly detached-ironic approach to things, but here we can see her just seething at the extent of the injustice. And she is so right.

Marina Hyde, who was born into privilege calls the guys of Bob Vylan (who were not born into privilege)
I see you middle class boys and girls who think this tired old act gives you life.
This is Classism. She's putting Bob Vylan and Kneecap in the same group as the racists who caused the White Riots last year. She wants us all to think of them as racists. She doesn't really care about Censorship, it's about Class.

"You know who the problem is? The mad kings boiling the oceans, drowning Venice, and driving humanity to extinction? Haha, no, the people waving banners and complaining about it"
"You know who's great? The queen of the world. Look at her bold outfit, she doesn't care what we think! Hurrah!"

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."

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.

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
