“Clearly they can’t, or the action taken last week wouldn’t have happened. I remain concerned and convinced that National’s donations do not stack up to scrutiny, and a significant tightening of our laws are required to prevent further foreign interference in our democracy.” 9/n

"We know who the perpetrator was. I couldn't believe it when I heard the possibility because I didn't think anyone in the National Party caucus would be that stupid," Michelle Boag said [in October 2018].

Wow, Muller is justifying Jian Yang's CCP membership now. It is not possible to voluntarily leave the CCP, it's not like being in a NZ political party. When is National going to accept that their main fundraiser, is a political liability in 2020 election? newshub.co.nz/home/politics/…

If you have ever had fun laughing at a politician, or kicking them around just because you can, this @TheSpinoffTV article is worth a read. I’m sorry for all that you went through @clarecurranmp thespinoff.co.nz/politics/04…

Parliament turns normal people in to savages. Another human was going through probably the most traumatic experience they’ll ever go through. Clare lost her job, reputation, her mental well-being. What were we doing? Laughing. Backslapping. Praising the destroyers. We were awful.

Yeah, accountability is important. But why enjoy the destruction of others so much? Do we really need to revel is someone else’s downfall? Sure, we all signed up for what Parliament is. But why did we also sign up for forgetting decency when we walked in the door? Sorry Clare.

Interesting that Simeon Brown claims in @HPTimesOnline that last week he lodged SOPs trying to fast track the Eastern Busway. Funnily though he hasn’t lodged any SOPs & the only busway SOPs lodged are in my name. I’m pleased Nats will be voting in favour. #imitation #flattery

Today will be interesting for political junkies, and everyone will have a view. But not a single person really will know how it’s going to end. In 2018 I was the Chief Whip and chaired the leadership election meeting. I was also one of Bridges’ strategists with Todd McClay. 1/n

6th Rule: None of us outside or inside the room actually knows what will happen. Candidates will be bluffing. MPs will be fibbing. If Bridges or Muller really had the numbers they would have used them properly by now. Displaying confidence doesn’t mean they’re confident. 15/n

The Caucus knows 2020 is lost for them. It’s now just a judgement call on who can save the family jewels: Mr Unlikable or Mr Unknown. And... Mitchell still has cards to play. Expected the unexpected. 16/16
