Speaking of things that aged like wine, back on Twitter I remember @lewsos.bsky.social said that he thought Luxon had the skillset to be PM and we just had to see whether he would utilise it appropriately

I just want to point out that she pushed him and had this great line:
Gerson: “What I thought was really interesting about that column: at no point did you stop to consider whether or not America was a country worth joining.”
Douthat: “I did not.”
Gerson: “Which is a very American thing to do.”

I've been around long enough to have seen some pretty ridiculous things in politics but nothing could have prepared me for this absolute clown show. 2/3 of the coalition parties now saying out loud they'll repeal regulatory standards act. WHY DID YOU AGREE TO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU MORONS??

"We might campaign on repealing the law we just passed" is dumber and more flailingly chaotic than literally ANYTHING on the left (and I'm making the call that that includes losing an MP to kleptomania and the implosion of TPM)
