  1. Rather than this #NZPol coalition govt blaming the last Labour govt for the failing NZ economy and austerity they've chosen to impose on NZers doing it tough, Ginny Anderson counters those claims with actual statistics that contradict any argument being made by Nicola Willis and this government to justify the war they are waging on the people of #Aotearoa #NewZealand to support the growing wealth inequality which is a direct result of neoliberal economics.

  2. @irix

    Who remembers Michael Faye and the ironically named David Richwhite being appointed by the then #NZPol National govt to negotiate BNZ sale and, allegedly, becoming rich listers after using their privileged position to make millions off insider trading? #NeverTrustATory

  3. You know how this #NZPol government keeps claiming they cannot afford to fund health, social services, education, housing, infrastructure, arts and social sciences etc.

    I thought I would take a look at how much revenue has been lost to NZ govt coffers (up to year ending 2024) since National PM John Key privatised 49% of NZ's state owned gentailers in 2013-2014 which raised roughly $4.7 billion.

  8. Classic rightwing response to any problem:

    Cut taxes, reduce government's ability to function

  9. @KimSJ

    It's not about "the economy", right wingers and their oligarch backers *want* a poor, sick, desperate working class.

    More deaths, like fewer services, means they take what they can get without resistance. It's a return to Dickensian times.

  10. @Walrus @Eceni

    Nailed it!

    The go-to policy of conservative politics is asset stripping and corporate handouts to their donors and allies.

  15. Worth noting that Sterling is up against the US Dollar and Euro. So, markets are scared by this #UKBudget

    (Unlike the Truss budget that tanked the UK bond market. A reminder to #NeverTrustATory )

  16. I just got advice from my power company prices are increasing...

    Between May 2013 and April 2014 #NZPol National Party under John Key privatises 49% of NZ's state owned electricity gentailers despite majority of public opposing the sale.

  17. This is what 15 years of deregulation, "light touch regulation" and understaffing regulators gets you.

    A system easily overwhelmed or tampered with.

  18. Tories just can't stop propping up an overpriced housing market.

    Who cares if it destroys government finances and ends public services - there are landlord's whose house value is at risk. 🤣

  19. Let me get this straight

    The country shaped by Romans, Angles, Saxons, Vikings and Normans are damaged by high levels of immigration?

    FFS, these hatemongers. Immigration is a good thing - and shame on #KemiBadenoch (and Jenrick)

  20. The man who said: "It's not about the colour of your skin" defends his statement that an area he spent 30 minutes at wasn't integrated because he didn't see a single white face. 🙄

    But yes, let's talk about "parallel communities" and the housing prices, lack of multi-family properties, job opportuniies, transport and xenophobic flag displays that cause them

  26. I think #BBCNews is missing part of Badenoch's quote. Surely it is:

    "Net zero by 2050 'impossible' for UK, because #Tories failed to act on the very legal commitment we passed into law"

  27. Next time you hear a #Tory talk about tax cuts, remember that their tax threshold freeze has:
    - dragged 4.4 million low earners into tax
    - dragged 26% more low earning pensioners into tax

    ...all in three years!

    #ToriesPlunder for the rich, and screw over the working class. Shame!

  28. Is anyone surprised by #Tory corruption anymore?

    This is the party that lied about Brexit to the benefit of their donors who bet against Sterling.

    The party that created fast lane, no bid PPE deals for their mates.

    The party that tanked the economy again by insisting on unfunded tax cuts to benefit their Tufton Street donors.

    OF COURSE they will bet on the election date based on insider knowledge

  29. Tory MP and private secretary admits the #Rwanda scheme is "crap" driven by wishful thinking.

    If naval ships in the channel didn't stop boats, why would Rwanda deportations?

  30. “But, in truth, it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there forever - provided, naturally, that you don't go and look.”

  31. #Tory austerity has cut Junior Doctor pay by 26% while increasing education costs. For over a year, #Tories have negotiated in bad faith.

  32. “You had to deal every day with people who were foolish and lazy and untruthful and downright unpleasant, and you could certainly end up thinking that the world would be considerably improved if you gave them a slap.”
