Tova Fighting a Rearguard Action to Justify Their Dodgy Poll

Tova Fighting a Rearguard Action to Justify Their Dodgy Poll

It seems that Tova O’Brien has mobilised to try and destroy Judith Collins after Newshub’s dodgy poll was slated. Yesterday we saw a milk moustache on a 14-year-old as news, a story about Judith Collins’s eyebrows and then their word soup polling. Someone is acting rather defensively.

The Greens Admit to Loving Tax

If you are a hard worker and do your best to get ahead in life, then may I state the obvious: don’t vote Green at this election. I don’t know what these people are smoking but their major overarching policy is to burn a hole in your back

Tova O’Brien went berserk when Newshub’s latest political poll showed Labour galloping 36% ahead of National. She basked in consternation from the side lines about the accuracy of a poll way out of

Cunning Judith

Cunning Judith

Judith Collins has shown her cunning yet again. And it is over what the Prime Minister knew and when about the Iain Lees-Galloway affair. She added that when she passed on the information to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, she did not know herself he was accused of an affair – but
