Luxon says "it's trying to get people off welfare & into work"..."but they need to die" .....in as many words, just different order (& probably closer to true sentiment). #nzpol #nzelection

More stating of the bleeding obvious...but with PM authority behind it it can become Burnhams flamethrower to take out Farage & fellow trav's

Take away all the woke culture war BS, the cranky anti-vax shitf'kery, the racism, & the general donor corruption, and boil it down to pure economics, you'd find that Winston's NZfirst is a much,much better fit with Labour. #nzpol #nzelection

'Grim how NZs proto "Brexiters"(they walk among us) spat the dummy over Simon Bridges suggestion. Are they not aware of Ireland, Spain... practically every smaller & less developed EU member state is significantly boosted economically...esp wages...& infrastructure.

As for Chippy.....we needed to see "Burnham" but we get "Starmer".....the game has changed, NZ Labour hasn't got the memo. On a positive note, we do have the Greens to hold Labs feet to the 🔥, so much is still in play for block Left. #nzpol #nzelection

Mill Rd looks more about opening development & windfalls for (Nat donating) Land Bankers....not least the Winton Fast Track dev.

ChezPayne @chezpayne.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
It's all about opening up land for Nat doner Land Bankers & Developers. Nat/ACT/NZR don't do a damn thing that's not kaa-ching for their rich mates & backers.

How wonderful would it be if all these twats who bleat "if Lab/Greens get in everyone will leave the country" actually left the country...a targeted cull of racist hate & negativity...it'd be the making of the nation.

I'd always thought that a "deep state establishment" existed that would make problems like this go away...like how suspicious can people really be when an 80yr old overweight man doesn't wake up from his sleep? But it appears we really are all on our own?

It's astounding how worked up Nicola Willis gets in challenging Labour to explain how they'll replace the billion$ that she herself stole from low paid workers. #nzpol

Andy Burnham was articulate in speaking against Thatchers NeoLib "experiment" last week. Winston did the same in 2017. It'd be nice to hear our Lab adopt anti-neolib rhetoric, thou I fear Chloe wld have to apply blowtorch to Chippys gingernuts for such to happen?

ChezPayne @chezpayne.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Is it purely NeoLib dogma hardwired into our RBNZ & main political Uni Parties, holding us down? Sometimes it seems that only a seismic external event (war,plague,revolution) is going to shift the dial...but it's ideas that got us here...& it's begining it feel like we're living in a seismic event?

It's Luxon's "Superpower".... his ignorance/laziness, around lameness is the glue that holds his Coalition together. A clever Nat Leader (like Key) would embrace TOP, use them to neuter Winnie&Seymour. Bishop/Willis cld possibly show such pragmatism? But under Luxon, if Coalition holds, we're munted

Burnham should announce negotiations with a view to Labour presenting a rejoin Deal to UK voters in 2029 election...no referendum, just Labour standing on rejoin platform. They'd blow Farage & Reform away and be set for another 2 terms....2 birds, one stone.

I arrived in London in '89.....a few pockets of (already on the up) Clapham still looked like that. But TBH, I think the UK was still recovering from WW2 in the early 90s.....97 felt a definite turning point.

In fairness to Willis, she inherited the unfunded Tax Cuts after Bridges bailed.....she might've even talked Luxon out of the top Tax rate cut? The general Tax package appears to have been Luxons baby(or whoever operates his strings?) Ferries were Willis thou

God damn, Luxon's such an econ' f'wit...the "magic money tree" is more plausible than his magic market, esp when Adams "invisible hand" is giving the economy a proper fisting.......it's like he's never heard of Keynes? Of course, he set the controls for crash&burn when they cut everything at get go.

I cannot emphasise enough how bad Luxon's economic speech was today - a veritable torrent of crap. Seriously. If this is what Treasury are giving him to say they should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. I'll try and keep my critique to six points.... [🧵 1/n] www.1news.co.nz/2026/09/14/w...

I've been Lab most of my life,Lab family etc.....never thought I'd vote Green. But Lab is just not giving one damn reason to vote for them, they're trying Starmers ploy.....but haven't factored that their Left support base has other options.....I think we're about to see their support collapse.

It's matter of Sovereignty..... primarily over Food & Energy, but key building materials (steel, concrete, milled wood) would be in mix). It's the sort of thing you'd expect NZfirst to be all over, but they disappeared to Cookerville...Nat&ACT clearly compromised by Donors. Open goal for Lab/Green?
