Towns may have to be abandoned due to floods with millions more homes in Great Britain at risk Every constituency projected to be at greater risk, with many areas likely to be uninsurable, Guardian investigation finds

For years scientists have been saying it’ll be cheaper to prevent climate change than to pay for the consequences of ignoring it. And here we are.

Headline of an article in bold black text that reads as follows – Apple TV+ Rebrands to Apple TV, Ditching the Plus Sign for 'Vibrant New Identity'

A “vibrant new identity” and all they’re doing is just taking away the + and calling it a rebrand lmfao

Confirmation today that the new junior English and Maths curricula that became official policy this year are being changed.

In secret. No consultation.

Once again, we're doing:

- Climate destruction
- Environmental destruction
- Science destruction
- Healthcare destruction
- Deregulation as per big biz
- Racism
- Tax breaks for rich people
- Special visas for rich people
- Voter suppression

But this is New Zealand, not America #nzpol

Note we have yet to be told how much they will cost us.

But remember, whatever number we are told, please add $671m to account for what we have already spent and got nothing in return.

What a bargain 🤔! ☹️😠😡.

All because these petty partisan fuckheads couldn’t stand the idea that “the other party” had done a decent deal for New Zealanders.

Fucking coalition of losers. LOSERS.

It was lead story in the Bloomberg Green newsletter today

“…I think people are getting sick of unions prioritising the politics over patients, or kids in education and parents being mucked around,"

No Christopher Luxon, people are getting sick of YOU prioritising your fiscal policies on your already wealthy mates, rather than on healthcare and education.

We would expect populist governments to damage the economy, and the evidence suggests that they do so in a big way. But we know from Brexit that the media typically nullifies the impact of this evidence on voters.

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

The Juice Media do the best honest government ads in the world, so truthful and informative. Just telling it like it is.

SHOCK POLL: NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW IN an amazing poll conducted by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like. However, 99 percent of journalists agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

Recapturing the Senior English Curriculum 2024 had been a good year for Stanford. The speed bump that was the outcry over the senior English curriculum and the lack of consultation had been smoothly managed by her, and she was on a roll wi…

I know Erica Stanford and her office, Elizabeth Rata, and Michael Johnston have had this sent to them by an irate educator.

The accusations I make are heavy: someone erased Māori and Pacifica authors from the curriculum at the last minute.

I have had no push back.

Make of that what you will.

Episode 25 of Locked Out with Craig Renney looks at the singularly most idiotic policy launched yet by the government. Visible from space levels of moronic. Have watch now 😄

no-one, certainly no-one in the public sector, could have predicted that the population would continue aging

Green Budget We are building a future where we do more, faster, to protect our planet and make sure everyone is treated equally.

🍃🌹🌿 Love the #NZGreens, the people, the policies, the (fully costed) Green Budget putting #wellbeing of people, biodiversity & the environment front & centre of every policy. NZF, Nat & ACT attacks make me more sure #Greens deserve my votes. #nzpol www.greens.org.nz/green_budget...

My personal business model would be killed if I'm stopped from breaking into Clegg's house and taking all his stuff.

Watch: Haka breaks out after Te Pāti Māori MP Oriini Kaipara's maiden speech, Parliament suspended Speaker Gerry Brownlee intends to investigate whether anyone knew the haka would take place after Te Pāti Māori MP Oriini Kaipara's maiden speech.

We live in a Māori nation. Our Parliament should reflect that more. The haka from the public gallery is an appropriate response to a maiden speech. Suspended Parliament only reminds Māori that they are not welcome to be authentically themselves there. #nzpol

Won't anyone think of the oppressed men? They've suffered for so so long #nzpol

One awaits, with bated breath, the speech from Dear Leader Luxon to Google, Windows and Uber Eats about "the world not owing them a living" so it's time to pay the correct amount of taxes from money they earn in Ao/NZ.

Oof.

it is my position that the role of government should be public service, a position wherein you serve the public and work for their benefit. if you are doing harm to people by, say, cutting benefits for no good reason, then you are clearly not serving the public, and should resign in disgrace #nzpol

This is a policy with no basis in any analysis. It's designed to look tough. It actually makes them look thoughtless and out of touch. It's arbitrary, mean, and simply designed to disguise the fact that the government is failing young people. Is this what being back on track feels like?

Luxon is the kind of man who claims every entitlement he qualifies for whether he needs it or not.

Luxon is the kind of man that takes benefit entitlements away from 18 and 19 year olds, saying that "the world doesn't owe them a living."

Luxon has created an economy where they can't find jobs.

Fuck off with this bullshit

Some quotes from New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon:

• “The world doesn’t owe you a living”
• “I'm wealthy, I'm ‒ you know ‒ sorted.”
• “just make a marmite sandwich”
• “I don’t care.” (said multiple times since becoming PM)

Guy is a stone cold psycho.

The Defence Minister wants to see New Zealand develop lethal weapons for international export through the help of tech companies.

What the ever loving fuck are they doing to new zealand

Luxon in there?
