Oh. Right. Keir Starmerism. You might need Winston, because you lack the backbone and conviction to try and end his way too long career. A poll might mean you lose the psychotic transphobe vote, not that you ever fucking had it. Don't scare the horses, just harm the kids. Yeah great wonderful.

The Labour Party that got gay marriage into legislation, passed the BDMRR and banned conversion therapy should be able to clearly defend their own record and stand up for the ideological vandalism conducted against trans dignity and the LGBTQI community. If it can't, what the fuck are you doing.

Choose a fucking side and be judged on it, dont be a wishy washy nothing for fucks sake because you piss everyone off. If you want to come out and say that you're happy for a bunch of people to be told they are not allowed to exist then own your bigotry, own your fucking position.

If any NZ Labour MPs, or candidates, are seeing this - nah, it's not good enough for your leader to adopt a fence position while our community is under threat even if you've all been given the go to say "what we actually mean is". He's a leader, if he isn't leading, he's losing.

I did enjoy the seal in the bar story but the fact that WaPo described the bar as a “New Zealand beer pub” is doing my head in.

New Zealand has a NEW affordable electric car! This wee thing is called the Dongfeng Box and you can buy it today for $29,990 NZD for 326 km per charge. Its a surprisingly smart little car with more tech than I expected for the price. It even has Vehicle to Load. Tesla doesn't even have that!
