This is my basic conclusion too. There's a fluff piece on Bishop in Newsroom and there's a piece saying he tried to roll Luxo and was outwitted and there's some waffling from Peter Dunne, and none of these things add up to anything definitive. But they (weirdly) exist. Why do they exist #nzpol
But there are Known Knowns.
We know there are rumours.
We know people in National are spreading them & discussing them with journos.
We know Bishop has been accused of being behind it, & that some in National want us to think it's all over and Luxon rinsed him.
These are Known. Not much else is.

Ew. Bish as PM would be the worst. Also could articles stop calling Bish liberal?? He’s an ex tobacco lobbyist and just all around slimebag.
How shit do you have to be if you’re politically outmanoeuvred by Luxon? 🤣 #nzpol

At the Special Children’s Christmas Party for the region and if this is how many disabled kids we have in our region then I am further pissed off about how bad disability funding is.

Can you imagine the desperation of teachers trying to assist people to get to school, parents trying to manage their difficult lives, kids who are struggling with mental or physical health, all knowing that non-attendance means other kids literally don’t get fed? He’a a MONSTER.

Not only is this blatantly unfair, but for a Party that doesnt believe in collective responsibility,theyre holding ALL children responsible for the actions of others...

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.
Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.
