Breaking Incredible scenes at 2026 election headquarters as Lab, Nat, ACT, Opportunity, Greens and NZ First all get 16.6 per cent of the vote and 20 seats each in the house. TPM's overhang may well decide the election.
I had a real problem crossing Molesworth St on foot the other day. So I hired a limo. Problem solved.

For nearly two and a half years the squabbling amongst the coalition that all the lefties predicted would happen didn't happen. But it seems as if the gloves have just come off. Is National going to rerelease Winston's super details?
Whoever wrote Luxon's speech needs to tell him it's political sideshow not political slideshow. #powerpointjournos
Breaking: In the great tradition of Norman Kirk's 72 Labour government 5 National MPs have um volunteered to join the French/British mission to the Straits of Hormuz.
And then the entire caucus marched down into the lobby to show their unity. Behind Judith Collins!! #nightmareonhillstreet
