We need Luxon to take Natl into the election
#onetermgovernment

We need him to stay right there, to deliver us a one-term govt.

TPU spoke to political leaders under embargo. Everyone broke it, it seems.

Full throated support for Luxon from me right now. For quite different reasons 😆

but they need to keep him there until the election
so that they lose

The sea is higher than we thought and millions more are at risk, study finds A new study in the journal Nature says most sea level rise research may have underestimated coastal water heights by an average of 1 foot or about 30 centimeters.

Adjusting to a more accurate coastal height baseline means that if seas rise by a little more than 1m— as some studies suggest will happen by the end of the century — waters cld inundate up to 37% more land &’threaten 77- 132 million more people.

I'm gonna turn into a chutney making machine

An account poss worth following if still on X…
Says what Iran is doing/targets it’s hitting, mostly accompanied by photos

Mine v early fruiting variety. Am worried as tree branches bending alarmingly, with most of the fruit not yet up to size. Massive fruiting this year - the rain has seen to that. Considering making first round of chutney this weekend.

Finally someone accosts Noem for shooting her puppy instead of training it.

Ah I thought it was eric!
But it shouldn’t be that surprising, surely.
He’s nasty

US troops were told Iran war 'anointed by Jesus' to bring on Armageddon, watchdog says Military Religious Freedom Foundation said it received widespread complaints about Christian-nationalist US commanders

Holy moly
100’s of US troops have filed complaints after being told the Iran war is part of god’s plan and that Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth”

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

Don Draper hammered Life pitch

Here’s the pitch. There is no pitch. We just start bombing and see what happens. People love bombing shit.

Government ‘kicked the tyres’ on solar subsidies but went with ‘minor’ tweaks instead It is one of the cheapest ways to cut power bills - yet documents reveal the government shelved a subsidy.

This kind of decision no longer surprises me

Fossil fuel giant wins $370 million tax break for burning gas as an ‘alternative fuel’ The IRS ruling appears to allow one of the world’s largest exporters of natural gas to claim its heavily polluting tankers are low-emissions “motorboats.”

I cannot ever stop tearing my hair out about climate activists being labelled 'unrealistic' when the fossil fuel business bros persistently do shit like this

thx. love Joy Reid

do they also condemn Israel's nuclear programme?

so the current version of him is a zombie? everything now makes sense

why does nobody mention Israel's illegal nuclear arsenal. Unlike Iran, they have up to 400 warheads, refuse to confirm or deny their existence, refuse to sign up to the NPT and refuse to accept IAEA inspections...
Blind eye, anyone?

holy moly

Govt moves on rough sleepers, reporting Wellington woes The government's moved on rough sleepers and beggars downtown - by giving the police power to move them out of town. How did the media handle that this week? Also: reporting Wellington's bad news; and...

Wow: RNZ Mediawatch interviews Tom Hunt abt reporting Wellington’s “woes” but completely fails to acknowledge - let alone quiz - him as the clear ringleader in the hideous Tory Whanau witchhunt by the media #nzpol
Do your research, Mediawatch.

Rogue state Israel refuses to own up to the up to its 400 US-made nuclear warheads while they both bomb Iran for having … none.
