For my sins, I watched the post Cab media briefing. Feel like I'm living in a time warp. Every. single. thing. Brooke V V and Luxon uttered about smashing workers rights were said 10 years, 20 years and even 30 years ago by National and rw governments. I loathe them.

If you can, watch This England. It's on demand. Not only about Boris, but a harrowing reminder of what UK (and the world) went through with the pandemic and politics around it. I remain forever grateful we had Jacinda and Labour in charge.

"The rhetoric we’ve heard from Winston Peters this year is a style of cheap, divisive politics imported from overseas. It’s designed to cause fear and division within our communities. It does not fit with my values or my vision for New Zealand’s future." Chippy

This is how it works. A Labour government makes real change, then along comes National who adopt the popular bits (ie winter energy payment), give bonuses to business and landlords and smash the things that affect us the most : eg workers' rights.
