Food stamps will stop in America by the end of October! This means up to 42 million low income American households will not be able to pay for essential food and other basic needs, this is the reality of the Shutdown

@patbrittenden.bsky.social apparently Upston expects people’s health conditions or disabilities to get better within 12 months, tell that to a blind person!! Or someone with other complex lifelong disabilities!!
What do they say “… tell em’ he’s dreaming”
Totally out of touch

Live: PM says ‘it's not uncommon for politicians to be booed at events' Prime Minister Christopher Luxon was asked about being booed at the netball final on the weekend.

Luxon is looking shabby, fancy getting booed at the Netball, the Wahs, sure!
The government is off track and looking like they’re done

I watched this and can say I’m really impressed with the standard of investigation and journalism, important watching to be well informed as we vote in this local body election

The chances of the big retailers actually being regulated are virtually nil, Willis has anti regulation staffers in her office so this one is dead in the water

Fancy showing up to a lawmaker and putting forth the argument that we have to operate illegally in order to make inordinately large profits, and being heard!!
Most would be thrown out of town for even making the argument

Thanks @clrenney.bsky.social I’m suitably informed and depressed all at the same moment,
Guess we can say goodbye to that 10y overdue CPI uplift to disability funding as the cupboard is well and truly bare

@patbrittenden.bsky.social seriously Luxo pitched himself at the CEO PM, if the voters are the shareholders who employ / hire the PM it’s time to have a PR and put him on a PIP for failing to meet his KPI’s and tell him he’s on notice to be replaced by a new administration in 18 months

For a govt that supposedly campaigned on localism what we saw today was mean spirited and churlish from the PM and Brown attacking Councils
