PM Jacinda Ardern announces her shock resignation at the Labour Party caucus retreat in Napier saying she 'no longer have that bit extra in the tank'.
Must have been mission impossible holding back the destructive factions all in it for their own ends ? ;)
Anyone picked up the UN Vacancy yet ? ;)
Poor old Trevor .. might have his luxurious London retirement ripped back in like a yoyo in a hurry soon :)

Till then, I see my role to help the Labour Party, who I consider my family, navigate this next phase. And then, to leave the next colleague who takes on this role, all the space they need to make their mark.
Sorry Family - hate to let you all down all of a sudden .. ;)
Don't treat me like an idiot Balance. That may be so (as it probably is with many countries over the past few Covid years) but it does not change the fact that NZ is not experiencing current levels of inflation, in isolation. The rise in the cost of living is being experienced everywhere.
Don't you worry about me and the value of my vote. You should worry more about the voters who have no interest in the process, who either don't vote at all, or who simply look for a name they recognise to put their tick beside.
The next four years will not be pretty.

Don't worry Robbo - it's probably a poisoned chalice and full crock for failure after what has been seen
from the Finance seat & RB meddling in things anyway ;)
I am not surprised she has resigned after serving during the Covid nightmare and aftermath. It is a wise woman who knows when the time to hand over the reins has come.
We could have had English as PM during the start of Covid. Would we have seen a Tumpian or Johnsonian response or muddle? I can’t see that he would have acted as decisively as Ardern did in introducing epidemic measures. More than likely many older relatives are still alive as a result of Ardern winning in 2017. I won’t be voting Labour next election*, but thank you Ardern for your service.
*current but not final intention
British PM Margaret Thatcher and forthright leader was called a witch by some opponents on the left . It is interesting to see misogyny is alive and well in NZ.
