“Beware of horses”

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

Because in never going to read their stuff, can anyone tell me what the “let COVID in” brigade think we’ll actually gain? Last time I checked, the global economy is plunging, no planes are flying and the only people voluntarily exposing themselves to the 🦠 are at Trump rallies

@josiecampbell Wednesday the 25th?

@richardhills777 @nealejones @MutchJessica

@cpevans @SharonBell_NZ *whispers* yes, but a month’s worth of Winston’s fans, y’know, visit the Great RSA In The Sky

@LostArcNZ I’d have blocked you for the Xmas mince pies comment last year. Must be getting soft

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

@domesticanimal In thebuff?

@GregPresland Call me an elitist snob, but I choose not to get the facts on Coronavirus from someone who can’t spell “Corona”.

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

@marcdaalder In Mike’s defence, he didn’t know his stupid comments would one day make him look stupid

@daisy_hudson “The patient appears to have contracted COVID-19 despite living a lifestyle which might be described as hermetic.”

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

@nealejones Some people (🙋‍♂️) find the tone and style of the Press Gallery ill-suited to the job of interrogating this unfolding situation. We want facts and accountability, we don’t need the rotten tomatoes thrown in too

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

@WimRay Could’ve been worse. Could’ve been screen tests...

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

@Jasonwalls92 That is technically a war crime

Iceland opens borders, gets bugger all tourists, but plenty of COVID https://t.co/VW7raXsBLX

@deemillar @Auralnauts Man I can’t wait to see #FilmTitle

@anoblecommittee And OTOH we could be in L4 on Nov 21 for all we know. I would like health advice on the likelihood of AKL being back to free movement to be the only relevant consideration here, not party self-interest

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

@nealejones The obvious solution is to hold the election on a day guaranteed not to be disrupted by the Coronavirus. See, that wasn’t so hard

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

@thomasmeadnz I for one would settle for questions that recognise Dr Bloomfield as the operational head of a pandemic response, instead of a proxy in a stalled election debate. Maybe we should stop holding these pressers in Parliament

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

@BR3NDA You need a compatible plug-in. Try a delicate antique throw on the bed or wearing something you definitely don’t want to get cat hair out of. The cat should upgrade overnight

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

@TheOrwellianNZ @SiouxsieW Wait, I can’t keep up. Is being a communications expert good now, or a put-down?

[Iain Butler @IainButlerNZ]

@MichaelMorrah @jeremy_pm “Accountability” and being sacked are not synonymous, Michael. A work culture where mistakes automatically lose you your job, is one where people hide errors and blame others. For all the faults in our frontline response so far, Dr Bloomfield has always been honest & accountable
