Excellent commentary by @paulbarlownz.bsky.social #NZPol

🔺Severe Thunderstorm Warning🔺 Risk of torrential rain around western parts of Northland. Flash flooding possible. www.metservice.com/warnings/hom...

Eek! “Small tornadoes possible” 🌪️. For the Wellington region this probably means mostly Kapiti and Porirua, i.e. those places most exposed to storms coming in from the Tasman Sea.

Chris Luxon: "I don't recognise those numbers" Nicola Willis: "You too huh?"

NZ Govt: why are people leaving to Australia in record numbers? Australia Govt: we respect our workers That's 14% higher than NZ

solid philosophy

A reminder that BvV has no real world experience whatsoever. She went from uni, via a short stint as a lobbyist, straight to being an ACT staffer and MP. She has no more than a university level understanding of any of this, and it shows. #NZPol

I'm old enough to remember when a 'road-cone hotline' help sink John Major's political career, and it stuck me how similar Luxon is to him.

I don't have any aurora photos to share as it was too cloudy at Paraparaumu Beach, but here's a lenticular cloud sunset from the other day.

my "david seymour says im not racist" t-shirt has a lot of people etc

It all makes sense now that an anagram of “Don McGlashan” is “scold hangman”

"In a statement to RNZ, Bishop said that on reflection, he should have kept his thoughts to himself." no remorse, no apology. just Chris Bishop straight up saying he should've kept the racist stuff inside his head instead of letting it leak out of his smug mouth in public. absolute wanker. #nzpol

Friday afternoon fun.

Last month, Robert Armstrong coined the acronym 'Taco' — which stands for 'Trump always chickens out' — as a way to describe the US president's tariff approach and the way markets react to it. Listen to the Unhedged podcast: on.ft.com/3Ff0P5V
