In a political world devoid of values, it’s good to see Labour Party candidate for the Mt Roskill by-election, Michael Wood, letting a National Party stooge know in no uncertain terms that slagging off his wife is NOT on the agenda…

The one word that almost every political pundit in America has not uttered as they scramble to explain their ignorance is ‘class’.
You let Helen Kelly die as a criminal. You let Paul Holmes die as a criminal. You let Martin Crow die as a criminal.

One, and let’s be honest it really is all that we can cling to, one thing that is good to have come out of the Trump tragedy is that there is a clear halt now in America to free market corporate globalisation.
As pundits and the mainstream media scramble to decipher the political earthquake that has erupted with the win of Trump, here are the winers, losers and what went wrong as I reckon it.
