Seymour knew about impending Libelle collapse for five days - and still didn’t tell education minister Erica Stanford only found out about the liquidation of the lunch provider through news reports, despite the ACT leader and the PM knowing for days

This is something you get fired for.

POWER TO THE PROLES!

Grim from the latest Westpac-McDermott Miller survey of consumer confidence in NZ:
"Only two in ten men and fewer than one in ten women expect good economic times in New Zealand over the next year."
That's going into an election year.

I was going to make a smart comment about your desk but I can’t think of one 🤣

Tesla removed from Vancouver Auto Show

Seymour refuses to let Christchurch school ditch lunch provider Haeata Community Campus has had “enough” of sub-par school lunch deliveries, but David Seymour says he won’t let it get out of the Government contract.

The Associate Education Minister, David Seymour, tells schools that there are no exemptions - basically the state will serve you inedible, under or over cooked food, fit only for pigs - and the children will eat it.

Massive overreach by ACT's leader here:

Yes I agree. Across the board people are pissed off.
I’ve seen a few comments on social media like ‘I’m embarrassed to admit I voted National’

The little girl drops her doll into the bakers dough and when they pick up the loaf of bread it says ‘mama!’

Best ones are apple and cinnamon from bakers delight 😋

Love these books. I still have mine and read them to my son.
Favorite was the talking bread 🥖

Govt nearly $800m in the red over cancelled interisland ferries - NBR | The Authority since 1970 The National Business Review Online is New Zealand's authority in breaking business news and analysis.

David Seymour's failed lunch program 'saved' us 130 million which has resulted in non-delivery, liquidation of a major provider, 2nd degree burns to a child, and more food is being wasted than the previous scheme.

Nicola Willis cost us ~800m according to NBR.

Both still ministers.

Saw that, what a twat

The School Lunch Collective is now a live living example the left can use forever more of how getting a private company to "do it for less" is a failed philosophy lol #NZPol

It is quite challenging at the moment!

Sure, eggs are expensive but Trump has made stocks affordable for everyone.

New draft government procurement guidelines would remove wage protections for thousands of low-paid workers in New Zealand - taking away the gains they have made from the Living Wage. Why? A 🧵www.beehive.govt.nz/release/going-growth-new...

Great thread. The centralised too-big-to-fail corporate contract Seymour chose for school lunches is *everything* these fools always say about the public sector. It's beyond irony.

If I call my 86yo mother close to 6pm and she has to hang up to go watch the news, I know it’s been a really bad day for this government 😆

All entirely predictable

Yes, what a shame. Luxon was stupid enough to agree to Seymour’s demands without thinking through any of the consequences.

They’re in the shit either way. It’s going to keep haunting them, but if they reinstate the programme it’s going to make them look completely useless (which they are of course)

This is more like a tsunami

Do you think they will reinstate it?

Poll result: Voters want the old school lunches back A strong majority of voters say the Government’s new school lunches aren’t working.

Talbot Mills Poll School Lunches: March 3 and March 12

65% think new school lunches programme is not working

60% want Government to reinstate the previous Ka Ora, Ka Ako system

This is emphatic, until Luxon lances the Seymour Lunches boil it will cut them 🔪🔪🔪 www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Yes exactly. Self-absorbed and utterly clueless.

Yes I agree I think Luxon agreed to Seymour’s demands without giving any thought to the repercussions. Very on brand.

I can’t see them being able to turn this around now, once you’ve lost it like this it’s very hard to come back imo

'It was chaos': The history of San Francisco's most unforgettable TV ad In 2005, Sony spent over a million dollars to swarm SF streets with 250,000 bouncy balls, breaking windows and destroying cars in the process.

Clearly, it is unacceptable to remind us that 2005 was 20 years ago, but this is quite fun
