From the soaring rhetoric of Jacinda on the world stage seizing global attention on the big issues of the day to basic bitch Watties Tomato Sauce and a never ending supply of fucking sausage rolls.
Why doesn’t he just ride a sheep wearing gumboots into these events while juggling sausage rolls?
We get it, Chippy likes sausage rolls.
Bless Chippy, but he ain’t no Jacinda.
Still, it could be worse, it could be Luxon as PM and he looks like an actual sausage roll.
We miss you Jacinda.

Hipkins trying so hard to be a regular bloke with his sausage rolls – the equivalent of whatever Aussie PM having to be seen eating a meat pie.
But Hipkins is anything but working class- he’s destroyed education with woke gender woo and maorification of even mathematics. Record unattendance the result.
Keepcalmcarryon. I’d have gone crayfish canapés for a start. Lovely Chatham Island -or Kaikoura- crayfish. But, unlike Chipster, I’ve not had the benefit of advisor graduates from boozy rugby clubs. Once did a big platter with cold lamb loin chops as finger food, which went down a treat. Oyster sandwiches are good too and much easier than sausage rolls; the fish’n’chip chippers will provide out-of-season oysters; done that twice for terminal whanau in hospice care.
“ … destroyed education with woke gender woo…” Wrong. It is our children who are being destroyed with the genderID ideology being forced upon them. This country doesn’t do children well. That’s why they abolished the Commissioner for Children, so what we don’t know won’t hurt the pollies.
It’s not destroying my kids , I just tell them it’s bullshit 🙂 Respect how other people want to be treated but that doesn’t mean boy=girl.
Living on a farm and knowing how the cows get pregnant probably helps them to “follow the science”.
But yeah, Hipkins’ gender confusion being taught to young kids is going to be causing problems in children not fixing any.
Imagine teaching anorexia to young kids, real smart.
Jacinda quite likely does not miss “us”!
Some filthy Rotary Tory blokes wore long black wigs and Jacinda masks for a humorous club debate, which ended with a mini toilet prize presentation with a Ms Ardern mask attached to the seat.
These boofheads were not from a provincial Rotary, but St Johns in East Auckland-the women hating continues in some quarters.
Tiger Mountain. Ladies on lavatory seats is a grubby National Party dynamic, showcased by Michael Woodhouse doing it as a raffle, featuring a Dunedin Labour Party lady politician. What a pity that he didn’t feature one of his invisible men, and that he’s not one himself.
An actual sausage roll.
Good one Martyn!
“Fairy dust” and “sausage rolls’?
Lazy media hyperbole.
Surprised you stoop to even mention it, MB.
PM Hipkins has to ditch the sausage rolls and the ‘Chippie’ real quick if he has any aspiration to be anything other than a 9 month caretaker and a minor footnote in history.
Funnily enough, I think you have a point, Peter+H.
(Probably not the point you were making, admittedly)
Encouraging ‘matey’ nicknames isn’t the problem but a marker of a problem, and the result is jarring.
Hipkins isn’t exactly an archetype of working class, he just isn’t. The nick-name doesn’t create a blokesy persona, it highlights what he isn’t.
If he were 6’2 and built like a brick shithouse, and had walked off a buiding site where he was actually known as ‘Chippy,’ the title, used more widely, would probably enhance his image amongst everyday people. As things actually stand it creates a cringe response.
@cantremember you’re right- “chippy” conjures association with the building trade not the motor trade.
How did Jacinda go with reducing child poverty?
Same as the previous PM, oh wait! he created it.
Anker. She baked Prime Ministerial scones for visiting Ed Sheeran, I guess that was a start. Claimed to have helped at a soup kitchen in London one Christmas, with a bit of touching cultural appropriation from the late David Lange. Was going to read a book.
The Dipton double dipper’s idea of a gourmet treat, a bloody pizza with tinned stuff on the top, could have provided a cute little parody of what it means to be English.
Not so good Anker but let’s not always be negative -credit where it’s due, under lockdown foreign DJs and gay Mexicans had the red carpet rolled out.
Jacinda isn’t in Government now Martyn – move on.
Chippie – well Tremain nailed it with him taking a cabinet to ask if it can be repaired.
Jacinda entered the field with so much promise and left it with so little achieved. Here heart may have been in the right place but there were forces always working against her and much of this was because she was a she not a he .
You can tell a lot about a politician by their feeding habits.
Remember John Key eating a hotdog to give the perception he was an average kiwi mum and dad type, but in deep throating it he showed his true reptilian nature.
Scott C Our man in London would have advised sausage rolls. If that the best that the High Commission can come up with, then close it down. He’s just one of Helen’s vapid acolytes. Jacinda’s man in Dublin is well practised in colonial boy antics too.
I agree that Chris Hipkins is not working class. His policies have, in my opinion, exacerbated many of the issues in today’s society instead of alleviating them. In politics at the moment, I’m looking for a softer representation, say somebody such as Nicola Willis, to be the leader of a major political party. I’m not really looking for either Chris Luxon or Chris Hipkins to resign, but the point is that these first few years forwards after the three main pandemic years ought to be handled with a touch more class and grace.
“We miss you Jacinda.”
When you say “we”, surely you’re referring to yourself alone. Because even Labour hardliners breathed a sigh of relief when they offloaded her. With her as leader, Labour would now be polling in the 20’s and by leaving, she drew a lot of the poison with her. What remains to be seen is how much Chippie can paint over the cracks she created.
