The Whispering Campaign Against Hipkins Has Started

You know the end is nigh when various left-wing mouthpieces start saying out loud what others are only whispering in to their chardonnays or their Fair trade decaf soy latte coffees.

Chris Hipkins must be shivering in fear as the whispering campaign against him begins, with commie scribbler and bike aficionado Simon Wilson wittering in his column that it might just be time for him to move on.

He begins with some heroic assumptions and a little history lesson topped off with a bit of wishful thinking before starting on his knifing of Chris Hipkins.

Utter confidence was Muldoon’s real superpower. Christopher Luxon knows it today. So did Dame Jacinda Ardern in 2017 and 2020, and so does Kamala Harris in America.

Harris runs her campaign as an excitement machine. Like Ardern, like Barack Obama in 2008, she models a different kind of belief: optimism, a sense of purpose, hope.

Why isn’t Chris Hipkins - good ol’ Chippy - doing that?
