Luxie Wuxie, flubbin' and lie, Mucked his words and said things dire, When the Press came out to play, Luxie Wuxie ran away. #NZPol#PartTimePrimeMinister#DoesntEvenHaveAPortfolio

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has revealed he will break with convention and skip a traditional Tuesday opportunity for journalists to ask him questions.


The practice – known as a 'bridge run' or 'tile run' – happens when the PM fields questions from the media on their way into Parliament's debating chamber.


Luxon explained his decision in his post-Cabinet media conference this afternoon, saying that reporters would continue to have plenty of opportunities to talk to him.


"Essentially, in a 24-hour period, you get me here at post-Cabinet for 40 minutes, you get me tomorrow morning doing my media round, and you get me on caucus runs at 10am or 11am later that day, and then on the tiles again at 2pm," he said.

Was nice to see Tories almost decimated in Wales and Scotland. They ruined industry in both areas. Payback time.

I don't want to see former Tory MPs on Strictly, in the Jungle, playing Traitors, hosting panel shows, or making travelogues or documentaries. I never want to see their smug, shiny faces again. I want them all to fuck permanently off.

So, the UK Tories have been well and truly done. Poor Luxon, he must be gutted. They were his heroes.😂

New picture book from the library is delightful. Hope is the thing by Johanna Bell. Based on the Emily Dickenson poem, Hope is the thing with feathers.

So yesterday was my birthday. My recent trip to Malaysia and Singapore was my treat to me. Am now 3 score years and 10. 😁 My daughter's gift was upgrades to Premium economy on both trips and flowers today. That's my girl.
