Interested in law and policy, which means you’ve pulled the short straw if you’re seated next to me at a dinner party.

@maxdnharris fantastic news, well done Max. Add it to our list of things to discuss over a cuppa at Pellicci's!

As a Kiwi in London with Covid and staring down the barrel of another winter lockdown,
@grantrobertson1 demonstrates the value of level headed leadership in the face of so much pressure to the contrary.

@maxdnharris I remember this so clearly @maxdnharris - to be honest I was fairly miserable, trudging up and down the aisles of Tesco for a Covid Christmas, but as ever it was lovely to see you

At Suleymaniye Mosque in East London today, flowers were piled up against the wall and a group of Muslim children inside were watching a video of Jacinda Ardern’s comments - demonstrating the power that positive leadership can make to communities everywhere

@JesseMulligan See you there @JesseMulligan for some stories and more Nepalese food

@HelenClarkNZ @globalcdp @nzdrug Behind every great photo is a great photographer! Great to see you @HelenClarkNZ - let’s keep this ball rolling!

Today my lecturer(in London)asked if there were any NZers in class.I sheepishly(lol)raised my hand&he said how great @jacindaardern is.I nodded but secretly wanted to say yep she’s so cool that she came to my flat last year for a BBQ 2 discuss politics with a group of young peeps

@phil_goff choosing to watch the @NZWarriors after nearly having a heart attack a week ago - brave stuff from our Mayor

How do you ride the tube? #CommutingToPoliticalHeaven

Plenty to compare between NZ’s Question Time and my debut at Scotland’s First Minister’s Questions today...but for starters it’s reinforced my view that a dedicated grilling of the PM has real merit @kezdugdale

@mayorofhackney I’m working on an urgent immigration issue on behalf of one of your constituents and am wondering if you will be available this weekend or Monday to discuss? Think u may find interesting& your help would be much appreciated.

Observations from sitting above the Nats (physically & metaphorically) at yesterday’s Question Time: there was a lot of furious txting, a LOT of interest in the Herald’s preferred leader poll..and a few Tinder accounts too 🤣

[Edward Bowie @edbowie]

You know you're back in Welly when you see Geoffrey Palmer wearing some speed dealer sunnies walking into Hallensteins on Lambton Quay

[Edward Bowie @edbowie]

Can you imagine having the year that Jacinda just had, and *not* having a drink on New Year's Eve

[Edward Bowie @edbowie]

@grantrobertson1 I haven’t been in Welly since August so I’ve been unable to verify the claimed beautiful weather in recent weeks - but seeing @grantrobertson1 wearing a Hawaiian shirt has now confirmed these reports beyond doubt

[Edward Bowie @edbowie]

@JesseMulligan Was eating with me not fun huh 🤣🤣

[Edward Bowie @edbowie]

@alicesoapbox Was that on Exeter Market? I’ve always found that hilarious! We need more beer soon 🍺🍺

[Edward Bowie @edbowie]

Sad to see this article getting traction in the @guardian, but pleased that @jacindaardern @nzlabour will be talking later today with @algore to set out how her govt will clean up the mess. Another example of #NationalsStandards https://t.co/UXwCNjSqUq

[Edward Bowie @edbowie]

@POLITIKwebsite I just watched speech by @cjsbishop yesterday where he lamented the ability of @nzlabour to count. At the time I laughed given the Nats’ inability to count under MMP. And now this... #National’sStandards
