Great work mate

Look at this nugget from today's NZ Herald

"I had some contacts through an old think tank buddy who knew the person in the think tank over there that has been partial to part of [Milei’s] rise"
Why David Seymour’s summer break included a meeting with Argentina’s President and his gold-plated chainsaw
The Act leader was met with heavy scepticism when he turned up at the President's gates.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Extraordinary polling from @yougov.co.uk today, showing the @greenparty.org.uk in first place across all working age people

🟢Grn - 20.5%
🔴Lab - 20.3%
⚫Ref - 20.1%
🔵Con - 15.5%

baffling why 60% of pensioners are supporting Con/Ref who will slash public spending that mainly goes to pensioners

Inspiring as always that we can find the time to announce the date of the next election but not tell everyone to pay attention to the news during a major weather event requiring multiple states of emergency or talk about ways for those affected to access support.

The Greens really should be putting up posters in the Australian capital cities saying "For a Home You Can Afford to Move Back To".
And, for anyone like me who is a New Zealander living overseas, if you have been back to NZ at any point in the last 3 years, you are eligible to enrol and vote in this election

(the extension of this provision to 6 years was for the 2023 election *only*)
As the date for Election 2026 has been announced (November 7), now is a good time to check if you are enrolled to vote, and to update your details if needed. vote.nz/enrolling/en... #election #decision2026 #nzPol

Netherlands should join and offer to host the first meeting at the exclusive, famous, gilded and very luxurious palace called "The Hague".
So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu.

Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

Has everyone seen the latest employment fuckery the current government is pushing through?

Fire at will in every workplace, removing remedies for unfair dismissal, and even the ability to raise a grievance if you earn over 200k… 😬

Email your MP, vote, and join a union!

One of the best speeches I've read by a political leader. And certainly, the best, by far, of any political leader in a Trump stained, polycentric world.

Eye surgery review today and consultant told me that all his GP friends had either left NZ or were only working part time because of stress brought on by the awful state of our health system.

The media keep quiet about this because the 'Telehealth' companies all advertise with them.
