One of the ‘anti-Net Zero brigade’’s favorite myths is that the UK is only responsible for 1% of the world’s emissions. What should we bother lowering our emissions when China, the US and India emit so much more?

#nzpol The economy is there to serve the people and communities in which it operates✊. To maintain that licence to operate the economy has two tasks🤔. Feed the people and house the people♥️. That is the measure of a successful economy🙂. Anything less is a failed economy😥. 🙏

Apparently good economic management involves increasing unemployment until one in six young people are out of work, poor, and increasingly disenfranchised. Is this 'building the future'? Would 'fixing the basics' not involve fixing this disaster?

They say they hate “wokeness,” but what they really hate is empathy. Because once you start caring about other people’s experiences, inequalities become harder to ignore, and privilege becomes harder to defend.

The only silver lining to Labour keeping the property investor tax deductibility would be if they tied it into a Rental WoF standard, because if you're claiming interest as a business expense you should be regulated like a business. #nzpol

Can relate.
Weltschmerz (German: [ˈvɛltʃmɛɐ̯ts] ⓘ; literally "world-pain") is a literary concept describing the refusal or incapacity to accept the world as it is, creating a deep sadness at the state of the world.[1][2] It results in "a mood of weariness or sadness about life arising from the acute awareness of evil and suffering".[3]

Torrent of crap coming out of Jordan's mouth this morning on Q&A. I should not have started fact-checking, but here we go. Claim 1: The old '2nd largest fiscal response'. Jordan is referring to an IMF report, which was adopted conveniently as gospel by NZ Treasury. Friends, it was bad. [🧵 1/n]
