📍Christopher Luxon’s unfiltered outburst during today’s media scrum – calling Opposition Leader Chris Hipkins “frickin’ Chris Hipkins” – was the clearest sign yet that the Prime Minister is feeling the heat. Under pressure from the embarrassing failure of his flagship FamilyBoost policy, Luxon resorted to juvenile name-calling instead of... addressing the facts: only 153 families have received the full rebate, compared to the 21,000 promised. Labour’s criticism is entirely justified. This scheme was meant to support working families — instead, it’s become a symbol of National overpromising and underdelivering. Rather than offer solutions, Luxon and his ministers keep falling back on tired attacks against “the previous lot”. Their latest tactic? Demanding Labour front up with new policies — except they’re the ones in government. Why the desperation? Are they already out of ideas? They scrapped Labour’s more accessible early childhood education plan and replaced it with a convoluted rebate system that barely anyone can access. Now, as uptake flounders, all they have left are childish attacks and finger-pointing? Today’s Talbot Mills poll only adds to the pressure. Labour has inched ahead, and Luxon’s preferred PM rating has flatlined — now tied with Hipkins at 24%. Not exactly a vote of confidence for a leader who’s had the keys for almost two years. And the cracks are showing. Today’s petulant little outburst said it all. Nicola Willis standing behind him waxing lyrical about butter wasn’t helping either: "I view butter as a beautiful, beautiful thing. I eat too much of it," she said. "When you see it on my piece of toast, it looks like some cheese." What we’re seeing is a government stumbling on delivery, grasping for political cover, and lashing out like a pack of bloody five-year-olds when challenged. Name-calling and continually blaming Labour for your inability to carry out the mandate voters gave you in 2023 ain’t gonna help pay for groceries or keep the lights on. So the question has to be asked — is it time for Luxon to go? #nzpolshow more

📍You may have already heard: The latest Roy Morgan poll was released today, and the results are nothing short of damning for Prime Minister Christopher Luxon — his government is faltering, big time. Significantly, National has slumped further to just 29%, while Labour surges to 34% and the Greens to 13.5%. Together with Te Pati Māori, on these numbers the Opposition now commands 50% support – enough to secure a parliamentary majority albeit a super slim one, if an election were held today. Meanwhile, the governing bloc of National, ACT, and NZ First has tumbled to its lowest level this year, sitting on just 46.5%. These numbers tell a story of buyers’ remorse entrenching itself among even the most loyal centre-right voters, who are clearly beginning to question whether Luxon and his government are up to the task of leading the country. Here’s the breakdown of today’s poll: 📊 Party Vote Results •Labour: 34% (+3) •Greens: 13.5% (+2) •Te Pāti Māori: 2.5% (-1) •National: 29% (-2) •ACT: 10.5% (–) •NZ First: 7% (-2.5) What is particularly striking is that the coalition’s strategy of relentlessly attacking the Opposition by blaming Labour for the ongoing economic malaise is clearly backfiring. Despite constant rhetoric about inheriting a mess, voters have clearly moved on. They want results, not spin. While the economy continues to stagnate, and confidence remains weak, according to this poll younger voters – particularly women – are deserting Luxon in droves. Lest we forget, this is a government that campaigned on competence, stability, and economic credibility, but less than two years in, the numbers show that perception has all but evaporated. The Opposition’s slim but clear lead is evidence that the public no longer trusts Luxon’s government to deliver. Today’s latest embarrassment — an announcement of an announcement — only underlined that weakness. Luxon staged a hyped-up announcement this morning about Amazon’s new data centres, largely presenting it as proof of his government’s economic achievements – only to be reminded that the investment was actually secured under Labour back in 2021. Labour leader Chris Hipkins wasn’t having any of it though, putting out a press release today labelling Luxon “the FIGJAM Prime Minister” — “F_ck I’m good, just ask me!” Turns out Luxon’s biggest economic achievement so far is recycling Labour announcements and calling it leadership. For Luxon, the danger is existential. His government increasingly looks less like a competent administration and more like a coalition of inept idiots scrambling for excuses. This poll showing National’s slide, NZ First’s collapse, and ACT’s stagnation all point to voters’ growing disillusionment. Unless Luxon can turn around the perception that his government is weak, reactive, and obsessed with spin over substance, he is on track to make history and the man who led New Zealand’s first one-term government since 1975. Here’s 1News Benedict Collins with today’s announcement of an announcement. #nzpol #FIGJAM

It is being reported that Keir Starmer has u-turned on compulsory digital ID. Yet the Labour government has admitted that digital ID is not being abandoned. Instead, they are watering down the word “compulsory” while still continuing to develop the framework and machinery for digital ID. It feels like the Labour government are trying to take the heat out of the huge opposition to digital ID and instead, nudge it forward and engineer digital ID under the radar. This cannot be allowed to happen. No one voted for digital ID. Keep the pressure up and hold the government to account. As I discussed with Ian Collins | Talk

Luxon is panicking, Winston Peters asks Luxon to reconcile his remarks with that steaming pile of crap Luxon calls a free trade deal. Realising his woeful Indian deal has little support - (Roy Morgan’s latest poll has National dropping to 25%), within 24 hours the PM pivoted on his take on the immigration ‘revolt vote’ overseas. The PM initially fobbed off the political earthquake in Oz and the UK as being ‘caused by social media’. Today he’s started talking about “smart immigration policy”. He’s all crap. Like Acts nothing burger immigration policy (a pub quiz for immigrants) he’ll roll out some super superficial dross to assuage low information voters. It’s like he’s only just realised kiwis have had enough of immigration. Probably not the smartest idea to go hog wild for the last two years worshipping Indians, and disparaging kiwis eh? The Indian FTA is a disaster for the country. And he knows we know it. Cannot wait for the election debates. If NZF keeps creeping up the polls, a three way debate with Luxon, Hipkins and WP could be on the cards.

Luxon and Willis have lost confidence of the business community with a wave of negative feeddback from business leaders squarely aimed at them being run in media. Last week it was Oliver Hartwhich, Simon Bridges and Craig Stobo, now Jordan Williams from the Tax Payers Union has just claimed that Willis and Luxon are pandering to the left for votes, and the amount of Bureacrats has INCREASED under National as well as our debt borrowing and they are taking us down a path of destruction. National needs to sort themselves out man, Luxon must go along with all the other progressive garbage in that declining party. Last week the PM said that Indian migrants were a good role model for kiwis because they work two or three jobs just to buy a house - “inspirational” he says. This is the reason why young people are leaving this country in droves, and our birth rate is declining rapidly, they’ll never own a house here unless they work around the clock and compete with a flood of migrants for work. His worship of the climate con is going to hasten our road to ruin, he actually believes that by NZ paying $24 BILLION to let India and China to pollute is ‘good for us’. Does Luxon actually think before he opens his mouth? The guy is deadset useless, with all the personal charm of a bucket of beige paint who know sees the creation of a surveillance state and mass immigration as his path to popularity. Luxon who has lived the bulk of his working life overseas, was parachuted into leadership (becoming PM in three years after entering politics) will always do what’s right for India, the UN and globalist elites, he is NOT interested in what is best for a country called NEW ZEALAND🇳🇿 Video : Luxon ‘I’m not out of touch!’

Luxon’s cringe airport performance yesterday is a fitting end to a totally mediocre political career. He gave his most exaggerated rendition of his now signature David Brent impression : smiling at, and greeting no one, pretending to respond to imaginary humorous banter just before the mask fell .. the dude is going out just how he always was - in true pathetic style, a clown. While the media and the MP’s may point to Luxon insulting small business owners, I would offer that his fanatical Indian fascination and insulting Kiwis by announcing “kiwis aren’t as young, as hard working or as educated” as third worlders was just fucking insanity, he got done in by his obsessive subservient Indian fawning. Luxon was never a New Zealander, he’s spent the majority of his adult hood overseas selling soap and deodorant, he has no understanding of the kiwi psyche, the meaning of the term ‘nation state’ : he never gave one single solitary fuck about this country. He and Willis did nothing what they promised, and were determined to keep us in a holding pattern of crap, rather than being brave and making actual decisions, or how about just doing what you you clowns said you would do ? Good riddance you pair of Ernie’s. In my lifetime here is the list of my 3 worst Prime ministers - in order of shit-ness. 1) Jacinda Ardern 2) Chris Hipkins 3) Chris Luxon There is a chance with the discombobulation that WP can stall the final readings of the dog shit India FTA, that would be perfect - Luxon’s crowning glory denied him and the FTA issue going to election. There is also a chance that Labour devastated that Luxon their best asset has met his demise, will replace Hipkins. The biggest laugh last night ? reading that Luxon has “the full support” of tavistock trannnymaniac Matt Doocey, and looney Joseph Mooney… fuck that must have been comforting for Luxon to read lol ‘PM, good news, we still have Doocey & Mooney!’ 😆😆

Months later, I was right and they are wrong!!! Just fix what your promised and stop the talking… When I tell you these NDC party and government are a scam, believe cos I know what I am talking about. A few weeks to elections, they together with their friends like Osagyefo Oliver Barker-Vormawor calling for a ban on small scale mining. I disagreed and I still disagree today cos I don’t think it’s a strategy that provides long term solution. The NPP government placed a 20months ban on small scale mining between April 2017 - December 2018, it worked temporarily until it was lifted and we went back to ground zero. Ban isn’t a sustainable strategy, it has been tried before and a new approach is needed. The NDC and their friends insisted the ban was the way to go and they went ahead to actually make a 120 day social contract with Ghanaians to ban small scale mining. Today, they are in government and the NDC are running away from the same thing they fought me on but insisted was the way to go. The people are simply calling on you to do as promised. Your call now! And Guess what, their political allies who were on streets for weeks in the name of freedom fighters and insisted on a ban are today demonstrating and no longer calling for the ban. Today, they are no more calling for a ban but baby sitting their Friends in Government and telling them to end Galamsey before their Presidential primaries. It’s 2025, and I have won the debate on the ban against small scale mining. If the NDC think it’s the way to go as they disagreed with me in the past, then they shld go ahead and implement the ban. The NDC have a founding history with enabling Galamsey and some of us knew it long ago, said it and it’s playing out in plain sight. Dear government, you asked for evidence and we have just served the evidence. Deal with Galamsey! #GalamseyEnablers

When I am at the gym and I see somebody’s water bottle there or a towel or something. I know they just stepped away for a moment and that the machine is occupied. Out of respect I won’t move it out of the way only for them to come back and have to explain themselves anyways. This young lady on the machine left her water bottle on it because she stepped away for a moment to use the restroom only for somebody else to come by and try to use it in her place. Would you have understood the etiquette or is it just a free for all? When I first started working out I was unfamiliar with the gym etiquette. Some people just got done with a hard set and need to stand up and walk for a few moneys or get a drink of water and they use it as their rest period so that they can go back at it. Interrupting that process is the same thing as booting them off the machine mid workout. It’s rude and uncalled for but why does it keep happening? I think what it is, is that some people are very judgmental, they see others and think that they are more serious about working out than the other person so that to them it means they are entitled to use it first because their workouts are more important. I used to let them do that to me but no more. I treat it as first come first serve, if they don’t want to wait then maybe they need to avoid the gym during peak hours. This is the very reason I work out in the middle of the night most of the time. I rather not be bothered and if I need to take my time I can, most of the time nobody else is even there anyways when I go.

An extraordinary claim from Chris Hipkins this morning during his interview on Herald Now: it is impossible for economists to model the key behavioural effect Labour attributes to its Capital Gains Tax — shifting people away from property and into productive investment. Hipkins and Labour routinely champion this shift as one of the major benefits of their CGT. Yet they appear to have no idea when — or even whether — it will actually occur. Governments and economists routinely model behavioural responses to tax changes, including investment elasticities, deadweight losses, and risks of capital flight. NZ’s own Inland Revenue Department, Treasury, and previous Tax Working Groups have done precisely that for measures like the bright-line test and other tax tweaks. Australia, meanwhile, has extensive modelling on negative gearing and CGT discount reforms, which directly influence the relative attractiveness of rental property versus other assets such as shares and businesses. For Hipkins to claim such modelling is impossible is an absolute cop-out and is deeply concerning. At minimum, it should be a major red flag for voters. Labour has had two and a half years to develop its policy. In that time, it has apparently failed to find even a single economist anywhere in the world capable of modelling the central claim on which it is now running a major part of its election platform. Come on.

It’s pretty obvious that Luxon and Seymour are aiming to hock off this country in the very near future. In 2023 when Labour proudly announced a (now failed deal) with Blackrock both Luxon and Seymour welcomed the world’s biggest asset management company - however they both criticised Labour for not making it EVEN easier for Blackrock to invest here. Blackrock is rightly criticised for financing China’s military expansion program, as well as the biggest buy up of private residential property in North America. Winston Peters was the only party leader to reject the Blackrock deal saying: “Blackrock is a globalist solution and NZ is going to be used, and we will be swamped on the way through.. Blackrock isn’t a charity and it isn’t Santa Claus. We can’t build a future by scouring out our economy for investors in a different nation, that is the globalism I do not like” Since becoming PM Luxon has met with Larry Fink the Blackrock CEO three times in person, today Nicola Willis launched her foreign investors immigration policy. This is the beginning of the big sell out, laying the groundwork for the next term should National and Act have sufficient numbers to squeeze NZFirst out. This is going to be Rogernomics on steroids.

Garner : “labour built the bloated, high tax state .. National are admiring it, managing it and expanding it” National have not stopped co-governance with insiders saying behind closed doors Luxon has been bending over to Iwi. Public servants have increased under National not including contractors. 13.2% of working age kiwis are on a benefit The private sector has grown by 3.5% the public sector by 6.9% National are paying half a billion a week to service debt - further blown out by then borrowing for tax cuts. Alarmingly their borrowing is outpacing labours ! NZ tax is now 34% of GDP higher than the average OECD Luxon thinks ‘as the CEO of NZ’ by subsidising pop concerts and footy games he’ll fix the economy.. And this morning it has become clear that Luxon & Goldsmith will not stop the BSA from overreach, allowing them to determine they have jurisdiction over any digital communication.. this ties in nicely with the social media ban. As Garner says National have betrayed voters with their pathetic Labour-esque bullshit. This is the reason they’ve sunk themselves in the polls, the reason why every Nats voter I know is disgusted with Luxon and National and why swing voters are going to Labour.. and this will only accelerate as the economic reality from fuel shortages, high electricity prices come home to roost. Thanks Te Gimp, you are handing this election to Labour on a platter.

This is just awful optics for Chris Hipkins and Labour. Excluding the COVID years, this appears to be the first time in at least a decade that the Labour Party has not had a stall at Fieldays. This will come back to haunt them on the campaign trail. National Fieldays is more than a farming event it’s a major exhibition and celebration of small business, technology, the environment, innovation, investment, and rural New Zealand as a whole. By turning up with little more than a token appearance, Labour is effectively sending a clear message to the rural community: we don’t really care about you. It will be interesting to see whether the media presses Hipkins on this when he makes his brief visit today — assuming he actually turns up.

Unbelievably unaware, out of touch and condescending. Mr Luxon was asked for his take on the recent elections in the UK and Australia that challenged the political equilibrium. Have a listen. Its hard to escape the conclusion that he has absolutely no idea of what's going on in the world. His patronising words on "Trevor" and his keyboard, and his distorted views on immigration are just astonishing. Coming as they are from someone who is both the Prime Minister of New Zealand and the Leader of the National Party. A person holding these positions just cannot be so unaware of reality. Something has to change, or the Nats are heading for an electoral wipe out that will make the ignominious Farrer Liberal party defeat look good.

The Politician That Oversaw The Grooming Gang Cover Up In Oldham Is Now Prime Minister Operation Hexagon was a joint Greater Manchester Police and Oldham Council operation, involving Labour Party politicians, council officers and the mainstream media that went after myself and the others who refused to remain silent to the cover up of the gang rape of children. It was a Gold Command police operation. This is the kind launched in response to terrorist attacks. It was launched instead against the people exposing the grooming gangs. Instead of going after those involved in trafficking children, they hunted the whistleblowers. Operation Hexagon was launched under the oversight of the man who is now Prime Minister. Andy Burnham was police and crime commissioner of Gtr Manchester at the time. And his involvement goes further. His so-called assurance reviews. Not investigations, Assurance Reviews, were the cover-up of the cover-up, protecting the very people who made the decisions to look the other way. For three years Andy Burnham sat on the findings of his sham of a review in Oldham whilst his Labour colleagues branded us racists and far-right activists and tried to kill any prospect of a national inquiry. I spent most of those years on police bail after being falsely arrested by Greater Manchester Police for crimes that I did not commit, and then falsely charged by the Crown Prosecution Service to try and prosecute me by putting me in front of a judge and denying me a jury. That they failed was only due to the grace of God and a small army of mainly elderly supporters who attended every hearing and packed out the public gallery and the waiting rooms outside. Not one mainstream media channel will share the story of what took place to force the national inquiry. Likewise, as you can all see for yourselves now, not one political party will confront Andy Burnham over Operation Hexagon. Not Reform. Not Restore. Not the Conservatives. None of them. Which is why it is left to us. We got this far because ordinary people refused to stay silent to an atrocity. And be in no doubt that what took place is an atrocity. No political party funds my work. No institution stands behind it. And no mainstream media channel dare interview me despite Queen Elizabeth II putting a medal on my chest. What I do exists because ordinary people choose to sustain it. If you are able, become a paid supporter at Red Wall and the Rabble. 👉 If you cannot afford the £3 a month or £30 for the full year, just sign up for free. There are no paywalls to access any of my work. I publish everything for free. They know we are not going away. They know that a reckoning is coming. And they will do everything they can to prevent the truth of what they did coming out in the open. I know that my days of dawn raids on my home and locked up in police cells are not over. Just as I know that Pakistani gangsters & Islamists aligned with both the Labour Party and the grooming gangs will try their utmost to silence me. All under the protection of the police and the complicity of the government. We've got this far because we have refused to back down. And I am where I am because ordinary people came and stood alongside me. Perhaps it is time that you visited a war memorial and drew courage for the days that lie ahead of us. Raja Miah MBE

How desperate is Luxon that be rolled his wife out to bat for him. He’s desperate and this interview was sickening ; On the challenges of being married to the PM : “He couldn’t eat my fish pie that he loves” “Sometimes he takes a call in our big house instead of his very nice study” - yes she said that. She also said that he gave up a lucrative job to be PM - so we should all be grateful to the flop. “He does this because he loves N.Z” - actually lady he loves India and globalism and padding his CV. His wife explains that NZ doesn’t know it but Te Gimp is a : “Gem, and one of the few people who can be PM, because of his extraordinary leadership skills, and his outstanding intelligence” she said that with a straight face… kinda. When asked why his polling is in the toilet - and this is the best part - after she dismissed non mainstream & social media as full of “looney tunes and conspiracy” she’s says the MSM doesn’t paint him in a good light, and there’s no way for him to respond to it, Politicians don’t have very many ways to connect with voters” She’s batshit crazy. Social media is now the big part of a 24 HR news cycle lady - but these two gimps dismiss it as conspiracy and looney tunes. No wonder Luxon wants to get control of social media, he thinks he can make us like him. Everyone knows the MSM is bent, but here’s her gimp husband who refuses to do anything about the BSA. Luxon’s social media is the absolute worst. Most of his unpopularity has been self inflicted. She says “These days Politicians don’t have many ways to reach people” Luxon refuses to go on the Platform with Plunket, even though the audience is a prime target for him. She says “there’s no way for us to combat the narrative from the media” Um see the paragraph above, and maybe take note of how WP uses social media, he just fried Jonathan Ayling like an egg .. by using .. social media. He uses social media to suck up to Muslims. Finally she says NZ doesn’t have critical thinking skills to realise how amazing Luxon is. Jeez Louise. Finally she indeed kiwis are too dumb and have no critical thinking which is why they don’t like Luxon. Good way to build support lady, insult the voters. Is Luxon’s mum going to be the next one up? She going on a podcast to say how Chrissy would sort out the recycling as a kid which paved the way for him being a worshipper of the Paris agreement ? Getting your wife to go on a podcast to save your political career is so so so Luxon. A little beta male who is Hipkins and Labours very best asset. He will lose the election.

Michael Laws today warned us that Luxon is going to follow in John Keys footsteps which will be a disaster. Laws calls key “very stupid” and a very “bad PM” who stuffed up race relations in NZ by acquiescing to the Māori Party and Signing us up to UNDRIP. Under Keys Govt they completely broke our education and Health systems and ran infrastructure into the ground. Luxon has a deep reverence for Key, colleagues of his at AirNZ said Luxon’s deep admiration of Key bordered on an obsession. For example as soon as he found out Key had a house in Hawaii he promptly bought a holiday home near by. On realising Key was golf buddies with Obama he flew Obama to NZ for dinner with him at great cost to AirNZ (and the tax payer). Over the weekend at the Nat AGM, Key was the KEY speaker. He told the Nats to cool it on the “indigenous” issues and basically not to rock the boat. Sigh. Laws says that Key ensured that the Nats relationship with Winston Peters was in such a state that it cost them the 2017 election, all because of Keys hatred for WP. Judith Collins writes in her memoir that Key told her he’s quitting politics because quote “I can’t deal with having to work with Peters”. Keys hatred of WP is because WP is an economic and civil Nationalist, and a conservative . Key, like Luxon and Seymour are neoliberal Globalists who find NZFirst’s policies as anachronistic and as unfashionable as Winston’s pinstripes suits. All three fail to realise that principles like pinstripes never go out of fashion which is why next year will mark 50 years since WP started his Political career. Key sold off state owned assets even AFTER a national referendum resulted in 90% OPPOSING it. Key used mass immigration as the perfect ponzy scheme for his ‘rockstar’ economy. It was all bullshit. He pandered up to the “indigenous” elite as a nod to the left to afford him to maintain his favourite place in Politics - standing for nothing apart from Political expediency. It’s worth listening to Laws explain why Luxon is going to be yet another failed PM and why between National and Labour this country has been sold out and treated like garbage year after year. At the conference Key smugly told the faithful “I didn’t think Winston Peters could work with David Seymour or Chris Luxon for that matter but it’s going great!” Why is it that we have to continue having ex politicians hanging around like a bad smell? I mean Helen Clark is literally the opposition leader at the moment and Ardern with all her millions in funding from leftist elite will continue to be the tumour that we can’t quite cut out. John Key - the mentor no one needs, least of all one Christopher Luxon. The reason why National can’t break 40% is precisely because of Teflon John’s head in the sand guidance. This country needs leadership, pussyfooting will just delay the inevitable. Why Luxon continues to seek guidance from useful idiots is a mystery, when he has all the decades of experience and wisdom of the best political operator sitting to his left right there in the house.

Cheryl Reeve on the trans sports bans from her perspective of being a leader in women’s sports “Of course it weighs on me, the attacks on trans people, the attacks that they’ve gone through… it seems like it’s got way more aggressive, it’s sort of sickening when the issues they are trying to tackle are really not issues, the number of transgender athletes they are now making laws for and creating a problem, to get elected…what I’m hopeful for is that people have gotten themselves more educated and they understand that, that’s not actually a problem… exclusion is never the answer, separate isn’t equal, and trans lives matter, so to take away something that’s so valuable that sports brings to young people in particular and what it does, as I have a youngster, encourages you to be part of a team and what it gives you in terms of teamwork, leadership, competitiveness, all the things, they have every right to that as well”

I’ve had a few people do this to me, they seriously look like they are enjoying their food, cleaning the plates so well it looked like they were freshly washed. Yet complaining with every bite how the food is bad and how they are refusing to pay yet they won’t stop eating every last crumb on the plate. I just opened the buffet for the day, everything is fresh and hot, I do random taste tests for almost everything that comes out to make sure they are good and to my standards. I had a man come in with his wife, she looked nervous and in about 20 mins I saw why. The man went up and grabbed a plate, he picked out all of the meat in the dishes, all the beef from the pepper steak to all the chicken in the chicken broccoli, he cleared around 4 plates of meat leaving nothing but veggies left in the pans. The wife was quietly enjoying her food, she wasn’t participating in his behavior. When it was time to pay, the man wasn’t hiding his discontent, he said he didn’t like the food, there wasn’t enough meat in the dishes, he wasn’t even full and was going to have to pick up a burger after he leaves. So he feels he shouldn’t have to pay for it. I was not having it. I said I watched you pick out all the meat and eat every last bit, you even had 4 pieces of cheesecake and a bowl of fresh fruit. I made him pay and I banned him from the restaurant, I said if you don’t pay I will trespass you and press charges for theft. His wife was embarrassed, I can tell he does this often, she paid, apologized and they both left.
