This is *absolutely* how to handle him. Stay on script. Insist on facts. Give him hell. 👏🏾

Rachel from Piddington (the lady who famously spoke out against the far-right rhetoric), has spoken this evening with Victoria Derbyshire about the horrific abuse she has received since, including death and rape threats. Ai image abuse and letters of horrific nature.
She says any woman who speaks out against racism online receives this kind of abuse as weapon to silence us.
And I concur- WE WILL NEVER BE SILENCED. Solidarity with Rachel 💕

So it appears Elon has turned off the satellites for Ukraine again. This will lead to more innocent deaths.
When will people realize he basically works for Putin?

I was looking at the new Code of Welfare for dairy cattle - and the way the dairy industry effectively lobbied to stop improvements to the lives of dairy cattle. Then Newsroom did a piece on Andrew Hoggard's disgraceful role newsroom.co.nz/2026/11/12/an… greenpeace.org/aotearoa/stor…
Just ewwwwwww 😞
There are many grim pieces of footage of Brand I’ve never seen. This clip of him with his father discussing both buying women to rape has shocked me more than most. It is unsurprising his father thinks he’s innocent or that he doesn’t take responsibility for his raping. They both see women as disposable holes for rent. Or sometimes for free. They do not see women as human.

For last 24 hours I’ve seen footage of horrific scenes from Gaza, just absolute human misery. Yet..it’s not there on any news outlet’s home pages, not discussed on our witless political shows. We’re just going to ignore it? Is that the plan?

My recollection is that there used to be a parliamentary select committee review of the conduct of each election, but I don’t think that is sufficient now.

Remind me again what the official justification for ending enrolment two weeks early was?
This needs to be made illegal
This made me laugh. Top billionaire family openly taking credit for manipulating the electoral system to game a win for their side. And then threatening to withhold money from Luxon unless he complies. It's like parody except it's real. Sort of like over in the USA #NZPOL

Christopher Luxon went ahead with his plans to change electoral laws, despite warnings from his own attorney general the changes could breach human rights law and exclude more than 100,000 voters.
That is what happened and he should be held accountable.

This man’s strategy also set out to discredit MMP, which he has surely done. He represents big money working to distort electoral outcomes. #NZ law on political donations & 3rd parties running political campaigns is far too loose. Reform needed. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/e… #nzpol

3/3 These disturbing aspects suggest a need for an in-depth inquiry into the functioning of the electoral system. Overhang distorting proportionality, a loose electoral funding regime - including for 3rd parties, & enrolment periods which exclude many should all be addressed.

2/3. 3. Many were not enrolled during the truncated enrolment period which ended 13 days before the election. 4. MMP was designed to see parties proportionally represented - yet in a dead heat party vote result, National currently has around 6 more seats in Parliament. ➡️ 3/3

1/2 Whatever the eventual outcome, there were disturbing aspects to the just concluded #NZ election campaign. 1. Anonymous funders backed a vote splitting campaign advantaging National. 2. There was a huge imbalance in party funding. rnz.co.nz/news/political/242…
