US President Donald Trump is facing strong opposition from members of his own party, after they blocked the advancement of the President's budget bill.

2025/05/17

Welcome back Tony Blair. A new report he is a part of sees him joining the growing list who argue that Net Zero is doomed. Net Zero will be doomed whether we do anything about it. No one is going to jail if they don’t reach Net Zero. It's just that we can avoid a lot of needless damage along the way by recognising it early and bailing, so our economies can be put back on some sort of level footing. Ironically, there is growing anger in Spain over this week's power blackout, with a lot of people

I asked Judith Collins yesterday, just what has become of us? The “us” I was referring to is this country. But I amended that in my mind yesterday afternoon when I read the first review of Jake Tapper's book on Joe Biden. What's become of all of us, is now the question. "Biden didn’t recognise George Clooney at a fundraiser", was your headline. Tapper is making money out of a book on a subject he should have been all over four years ago, but wasn’t. Most of the American media in particular weren't

Soaring food prices might be hard to swallow. Stats NZ figures reveal prices rose 3.7% annually last month, with increases across all food categories.

First, a small update on what I said yesterday on pay equity. My gut says it won't damage the Government. Don’t get me wrong – if I was the opposition I would be prosecuting this as hard as I could, the way they are, because they have a genuine issue and ongoing issue, at least until the Budget, that they quite rightly believe is there for the taking in terms of points, headlines, and moral high ground. I don’t think that ultimately is true. But I fully get they think it is. The tide turned
