This is edition 2026/086 of the Ten@10 newsletter.
Hi all,
This is the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise the ten stories from across the world they don't want you to hear about.
Enjoy!
1. Warning for National
Point of Order
- 🔵 National stuck at 29 percent in the latest Talbot Mills poll with no movement.
- 🔴 Labour on 34 percent and holding the biggest share of support.
- 🟡 ACT and New Zealand First both gaining ground at National's expense.
- 📊 Winston Peters now just three points behind Christopher Luxon in preferred Prime Minister.
- 📉 National is leaking its own voters to New Zealand First at an alarming rate.
- ⚠️ The race-based agenda inside the public service is still entrenched and National is too weak to rip it out.
- 📈 New Zealand First is polling at 13.6 percent in one survey and targeting disaffected Labour voters.
- 🛑 A Labour-Greens-Māori Party coalition would be the most extreme in New Zealand's history.
- ⏳ National has run out of time and still has no compelling story.
- 💰 The Ozempic Budget next week will not save them.
