BFD Transcript: Nicky Wagner Calls Jacinda Ardern a Liar
Jacinda Ardern’s media appearances are noticeably shorter in length, indicating her discomfiture in media-fronting anything longer than a five minute sound bite, avoiding anything remotely in-depth despite her media devotees clearing a path.

Face of the Day
Jacinda Ardern is running scared of today’s face of the day. How scared is she? Scared enough to not want to face National leader Judith Collins in the bog-standard election 2020 election debates. Piking out of these crucial debates is unheard of. I have heard that Judith told John
