Helen White’s smug meltdown bewilderingly continues
Election 2023: Leaked internal Labour feedback from Mt Albert shows Chris Hipkins on ‘chuck’ list
An internal Labour Party election feedback about the ground campaign for one of its backbenchers has been leaked to Newshub.
Helen White held onto the historic Labour stronghold of Mt Albert by only 20 votes and her volunteers are blaming Chris Hipkins, the Green Party and captain’s calls for the wafer-thin win.
How the Christ is Helen White still making this all about Helen White?
I get the feeling Helen White refers to herself in the third person a lot.
It’s not that volunteers blamed Chippy and Labour’s lacklustre policy and totally failed imagination after a once in a generation MMP majority for losing, (because they are right), but it’s that it was leaked in the first place which is on Helen, and on top of that, she has the smug audacity to respond like this when challenged on how she destroyed the Labour vote in Mt Albert…
She may have asked for Mt Albert’s vote but she only just got enough – she won by 20.
“I didn’t decimate the vote,” she told Newshub on Tuesday.
Before it was White’s, the seat was former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern’s. She won it in 2020 by 21,000 votes.
“You guys are really going for me. Is there any particular reason?” White asked on Tuesday when probed by journalists about the narrow margin.
…umm, destroyed, decimated, melted down, poisoned, fucked up, dropped the ball, screwed the pooch, cock up, buggersmuddle – however you want to describe going from a 21 000 majority to a bare 20 majority is a God damned abortion of a train wreck and quibbling over definitions of the magnitude of fuck up just reeks of a smug arrogance totally at odds with reality.
Who is advising her?
Why isn’t she shutting up?
Why is she still providing the media with unlimited ammunition?
Helen White is fast becoming the face of why Auckland hates Labour.

Every one of those 20 votes ended up more important than 1000 votes three years ago.
Reliquiae reliquiarum…
Jeez Martyn stop inciting right wing venom.Are you david Farrar in drag spouting mean spirited shitstirring.
I saw Mellissa Lee out in the community shaking hands and talking to punters. Helen White, no one knew anything about her except she had secured a formerly safe seat.
She should change her name to the more appropriate, Karen White.
How on earth did an entitled fuckwit like this ever become a Labour mp? Is this utter fuckwit a symptom of the destruction of the trade unions over the last three plus decades?
If this “person” is to become the face of the labour movement, then this country that I grew up in, and was a society finally bearing the fruits of breaking from the “empire”.. has all but disappeared, and will be nothing more than a wistful memory….
The great experiment lasted 46 years….. Can any one now imagine what things would have been like if it was still progressing? One can only fantasize now….
She’s my new MP. I’m hoping the recount changes that.
Labour is as Labour does.
I think Helen White should throw her hat in the ring for Leader. She would be awesome!
Perfect Leader material then. Helen White opposition leader has a nice ring to it.
Decimation woukd be losing 10%.
She was much more efficient.
I think decimate used to mean one tenth – a 2,100 majority in this case. Don’t know what the term is for divide by one thousand.
Kilomation?
Since ancient Rome decimating means eliminating one tenth, leaving nine tenths.
Yeah but she’s qualified.
