It's so funny after reading this book that when everyone says put more money in public services. What they want but don't know is to ditch neoliberalism. Also he is super funny 👇

Do you need gas #Auspol? No!
More gas is burned *just to process gas exports* than is used domestically

Final tally of seats in Wales. Labour have gained 9 seats as the party swept to power with a landslide.
Plaid Cymru now have four seats, up from two, and the Lib Dems are back on the map with one win in Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe.
Conservatives lost all 12 seats & were wiped out.

Ok...I know we have MMP but this is how David Seymour wins Epsom. He asks Epsom voters to give him their candidate vote and party vote National. I suggest this only for seats at risk of going to National/Act/NZ First. Rally behind 1 person who isn't on the right

Dearest NZ Labour. Please for the love of queer Winnie the Pooh do not take a centrist line. You lost the last election because your centrist bullshit broke your MPs. There were own goals, but effectively you lost the public’s trust. Fight for workers and start drafting an omnibus repeal bill!

Wow I just spent ten minutes on Twitter and even people who weren't right-wingers before 2024 are spouting off right-wing nonsense now. What a thoroughly grim and depressing place. And Facebook is like wandering through a condemned mall. This place feels like the last good dive bar around (for now)

Tbh I'd be amazed if this govt reinstates the original IRex contract because that would require them to follow through with the future-proofing work on the terminals too, and the last thing this govt does is long-term publicly-funded public infrastructure investment.
