"A zombie government is distracted, listless, unambitious and uncreative", writes #NesrineMalik in #TheGuardian about #Starmer. https://archive.is/Kx7kp
What comes next must be the opposite, writes Malik. But she carefully expreses no hope that the hollowed-out Labour Party might escape zombiedom.

It's always good to start the week with the heartwarming sight of a boot being put hard into Keir #Starmer. #NesrineMalik does a grand job here in #TheGuardian.
Starmer seems to have no concept of a support base, no idea of the people he needs to keep onside. Indeed, it wouldn't be much worse if he had actually set out to enrage every sector of society.

Long read im Guardian über Qatar und den Einfluss, den das kleine Land als immer wichtiger gewordener Vermittler in internationalen Konflikten gewonnen hat (Malik, 2025). (Erinnert mich an die alte Republik Ragusa, die ihre Unabhängigkeit über Jahrhunderte durch Diplomatie bewahrte.) Über den Gasreichtum Qatars und die damit verbundenen Interessen berichtet Nesrine Malik leider nur als Hintergrund und ohne eine Verbindung zur Rolle des Emirats in der internationalen Politik herzustellen. Es bestehen engste Beziehungen zu vielen Personen in der Spitze der Trump-Administration und auch zu Putin. Trump und die herrschende Gruppe in Qatar meinen mit Frieden wahrscheinlich etwas sehr ähnliches.
In der Geschichte des Scheiterns der Dekarbonisierung hat Qatar einen wichtigen Platz. Die herrschende Gruppe des Petrostaats hat sich aufs Engste mit den mächtigsten Akteuren der internationalen Öl- und Gasindustrie vernetzt und ihren Einfluss systematisch durch Diplomatie, durch Bestechung und durch professionelle PR-Arbeit ausgebaut. Auch wenn dieser sorgfältig recherchierte Artikel Qatar nicht als Petrostaat thematisiert, ist er als Information über die Geschichte des Lands lesenwert. Er enthält eine Reihe von Verweisen auf Fachleute und auf Literatur zu Qatar.

The début episode of #Jadaliyya's Long Form pod features #NesrineMalik in a remarkable conversation with #BassamHaddad and #MouinRabbani, covering #ArabPolitics, #geopolitics of the #MENA region, the #Sudan conflict, and why there's "no going back" to the comfortable imperial assumptions about "international order" after the #GazaGenocide.

I know a lot of people have beef with #TheGuardian coz of Corbyn or whatever, but I support it as it is literally the only news outlet in the UK that will feature voices such as #ArwaMahdawi, #GeorgeMonbiot, #OwenJones, #JohnHarris, #NesrineMalik, #RichardSeymour and others

Very thoughtful piece from #NesrineMalik on the current wailing over #woke and its alleged responsibility for the turn to rightwing populists in recent western elections

Kemi Badenoch's greatest hits, by Nesrine Malik:
- “Not all cultures are equally valid” when deciding who may enter the UK
- Autistic people undeservingly get “better treatment” & economic “privileges and protections”
- Maternity pay is “excessive”
- Online safety is “legislating for hurt feelings”
- Net zero is “unilateral economic disarmament”
- Much of her career so far is culture warring

It’s the ‘great noticing’, as rightwingers accept that ‘Britain is broken’. But their fixes won’t make it any better

As character deconstructions go, this, by Nesrine Malik, is a masterpiece. Not least the description of Rishi Sunak as a man caught between two different forms of cowardice.

The message in this article ⬆️ by the fabulous #NesrineMalik is SO important. it is just not true that we are all regressives resisting change, yet our system amplifies and panders regressivism, at all levels.
Credit to a fellow school mum for the apt word “pandering”. We were talking about school drop-off arrangements (an ongoing issue..). She said: why is it always the angry driver parent who is being pandered, not those asking for healthier, better green policies?
