When I said we weren't here to be disappointed with Labour but to replace them. I meant it.

All he cares about is his PM allowances after he’s not PM and his sweet, sweet knighthood. He literally couldn’t give a shit about anything else.

On this polling, you can just see Labour getting back into bed with NZ First to keep the Greens out. The Greens should prevent this by getting a formal instruction from their members to vote out any govt which will not reinstate the fossil ban, set better climate targets, and tax ag emissions.

And they should do this before the election, to ensure everyone knows the political ground.

Membership-imposed bottom lines. And if Labour wants to believe its a bluff and try it on, they can be voted out and negotiate a new deal.

Malicious compliance with dress standards should also look like constant points of order about the Speaker not wearing a wig, or his tie being crooked, or Luxon looking like he's wearing a blue sack.

I didn't realize Sabine was over here, but when I looked at her feed ... she endorses the "low white birthrates" stuff, in addition to being anti-trans and friends with noted sexual harasser/friend of Epstein Lawrence Krauss. So, I recommend blocking as fast as possible.
