As the former owner of a Samoyed, I am deeply relating to @cjsbishop’s predicament during this presser.

I only need 2 billion streams to catch up with Taylor Swift and get a No.1 album this week. Come on, team! WE CAN DO IT! Let’s stream the fuck out of my album tonight!

Will be interesting to see whether adding Wayne Barnes to the sanctions list will survive coalition negotiations. Hearing some support.

Both Hipkins and Luxon say they’re for banning greyhound racing. Wonder what Winston Peters has to say about this.

Will vote for anyone who promises to ban ordering from QR codes at tables at cafes.

I genuinely love the process of going to vote. It’s this little, very particular ritual you only do every few years and can think about where you were the last time you did it. Also, I double -check I ticked the right boxes about 15 times.

[Boris Jančić @borisjancic]

If this debate goes for much longer it’s going to bankrupt the country.

[Boris Jančić @borisjancic]

@comingupcharlie As a regular ongoing event or just a cowardly one-off?

[Boris Jančić @borisjancic]

@coughlthom It was Thatcher, right?

“The Taniwha of excessive debt” is an incredibly Shane Jones phrase from Shane Jones.

Either totally trolling Peters or sheer optimism.

[Boris Jančić @borisjancic]

John Key on RNZ just floated the idea Winston Peters could be speaker of the house if there was a coalition as a kind of compromise.
