If I was running the election campaign for Labour/Greens/TPM I would simply have pictures of the senior National MPs with that “Top 1%” quote. Same for ACT & NZF

"You can go through the process story of who said what, when, and where, but from my point of view the matter's settled. Mark's addressed the issues, I'm very comfortable with that. I think he's doing an exceptionally good job," Luxon said. 👀

If only this report had been published before the NZ government decided to reverse the 30kph zones …
… they would have ignored it like they ignore all evidence that doesn’t agree with their policies

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them | Sadiq Khan
