Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

All PMs are flawed but I think if you have no coherent vision, no ability to make decisions quickly, no humour or charisma when addressing the public, no strong roots in your party, no talent for charming MPs and no control over your own office, then you are unlikely to be able to turn it around

Did anyone else get an email from Meridan this week saying they are deploying a new IT system and that it is going to be an absolute mess: ignore all the errors, but don't forget to update your payment details? Like wot!

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

A forensic, humane piece of work that surfaces system failures without losing sight of people; as always ngā mihi nui Paula. To add, I read the report early this morning: the IPCA did a good job too: they balanced rigour and care, and located responsibility at the various failure points.
Honestly, the IPCA report into the police (mis)handling of the McSkimming case makes for jaw-dropping reading.
But it’s 135 pages long so I’ve read it for you.
Here’s my report on one of the most serious failures of integrity in modern policing history⬇️⬇️

The inside story of how police protected a senior cop, and prosecuted his accuser instead
For years, police leadership ignored warnings about Jevon McSkimming. The IPCA has set out the chain of failures.

Tell me your empire is over, without telling me it is over. An economy fuelled by AI bubbles, shake-downs and theft. I have not had enough coffee yet to include the incitements to genocide, endorsement of crimes against humanity, or the enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions.

Constitutional guardrails depend on politicians & others adhering to settled standards of behaviour & other norms. These guardrails seem weaker these days. So would public law help c/servants restrain an anti-democratic government? Ben Yong thinks not:
