Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

Naah, that's Aditya Chakrabortty. Most of the Guardian football writers are better than Hyde, even about politics.

eta. snap :D
each to their own. I think I stopped reading about football about 10 years ago down to complete over-saturation. they used to have a few incredibly pretentious football writers which didn't help.
 
Marina Hyde is probably the best writer at the Guardian tbf.
Sometime she writes about politics

What bit of this is meant to be surprising or a problem? It’s her job

edit - and that headline she was being sarcastic in case you think she's on the side of Farage etc...

theres different ways to do a job...bit like a politician really, with conviction or playing to the gallery.... on the whole her coloumns dont add anything (but clicks)...she takes pot shots at easy rightwing targets but when she rarely sticks her neck out we get stuff like Corbyn is a dangerous populist in the same ball park as Farage....her one article related to the ethnic cleansing in Palestine is about Jews feeling safe. At least people like George Monbiot do research and add perspective and insight
 
I think that’s her role though. She’s doing the humorous cunt-kickings while others on the paper do the more scientific takes. Got to have a bit of light and dark. She seems to be one of the most popular columns on the site so it’s clearly adding something for people. Humour is a great way to spread a message.

I expect her Twitter account is full of replies from horny centrist dads.
 
The guardians "analysis" of the procedural coup yesterday concludes that

Starmer had averted disaster and emerged stronger. “We came very close to a huge rebellion,” said one Labour source. “But in the end Starmer’s authority is stronger than it was before today.

You disagree, I take it? And further, you think that the reasons for doing so are too evident to be worth stating?

Doesn’t look like a Guardian problem to me.

Id expect an "analysis" to have at least a little criticism in it....spinning it as Starmer Is Stronger is Pravda bullshit

Pyrrhic victory. He 'won' on the political procedure front (which no-one apart from politicians gives a fuck about) but made himself and his party look like complete politicking cunts to everyone else. Yay.

Aye, and there may yet be repercussions....and it's not like the slaughter is about to stop

Yeah, I'm sure that Netanyahu regime will be delighted with Parliament's failure to deliver a unified call for ceasefire; they'll probably regard it as one of many green-lights they'll perceive for flattening Rafah.
 
Well it’s obviously using that phrase to specifically differentiate it from the deaths from bombs/guns. Not hard to understand.

People were shot. Is it that hard for you to understand?

The acting director of the al-Awda Hospital in Jabalia meanwhile told the Associated Press that it had received 161 wounded patients, most of whom appeared to have been shot.
