1. BREAKING: Flávio Bolsonaro is refusing to concede Brazil's presidential election and says he will seek to have the election annulled after losing to President Lula.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Meeting with the gangs: bad look Doing so as a Labour candidate: political incompetence Lying about it: disqualificatory

There are real stakes in play. Candidates who try to bullshit everyone during an election campaign where everyone has video are just not fit to serve The Greens & TPM handled this well for their context. Leoni did not, so Hipkins was forced to handle it www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

stuff.co.nz‘She was wrong’: Labour hits back at Te Pāti Māori MP over gang pad claimDuring a Whakaata Māori Tāmaki Makaurau debate on Wednesday night, Oriini Kaipara claimed Kerrin Leoni also visited the gang pad she visited a week earlier.

I think this is a turning point in the campaign. Like Brash & the Bretheren or Kiri Allen drink driving. Would not be surprised if the 5 point swing to National we saw in the One News poll is repeated across other polls. This absolute stupidity will probably mean 3 more years of ghe coalition.

Seems to be going the way of the last election with Labour candidates tanking it by doing absolutely bone headed stuff. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

I’m troubled that reports from a Starship nurse of understaffing-driven medication errors (wrong dose, wrong timing) have been met by a bland reassurance of “nothing to see hear” from Te Whatu Ora. Quality improvement culture requires that these are investigated

There have, of course, been times in human history that were even darker and more terrible. But never, it seems, have there been times so despicable and, above all, so stupid.

I think the One News poll could be a sign of the soft centrist undecided underbelly fleeing to National because they’re freaking out over the Gang thing. Hope not, but I having a lot of these type of people in my life, it tracks. Will be interesting to see the next poll.

I would like to see the end of the term "vaccine skeptic," to be replaced by "reality denier." These so-called skeptics are actually the most gullible rubes on the planet when it comes to conspiracy nonsense and tech-bro slop; the only thing that makes them skeptical is peer-reviewed evidence.

Because he's an idiot who doesn't think before he speaks & he knows he's painted himself into a corner and is absolutely going to have to do a humiliating U turn after the election and look like an even bigger fool and a liar.

Da national party will really be like "you believe in talking to gang members? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, locking them all up" and then not locking them all up.

Get an EV if you can. I’ll be using a lot of Public Transport too.

And that will send both 91 and diesel to 4 bucks at the same time Right before an election and the silence from National and Labour about it too The US Strategic Reserve is around the 41 day mark which is 1 day above the critical red line of pumping sludge from the bottom the of the barrel mark
