It is deeply concerning that a Health minister clearly cares more about supporting and protecting the tobacco industry than they do about supporting and protecting the well-being of the entire NZ population, which is ostensibly their focus #nzpol

National's "squeezed middle" is not being squeezed by the "squashed bottom" but by the "greedy top", the people who have invested millions of dollars in ensuring a National/ACT win. If they succeed, neither the squeezed middle nor the squashed bottom will see much benefit #nzpol

Typical @skysportnz Wimbledon coverage: when the world no 1 is playing on centre court they are showing a minor seed playing on the no 3 court. On the first day they showed a vacant court for half an hour when the same world no 1 was playing on court 1. Insulting scheduling.

Hello @FIFAWWC , your ticketing system may be brilliant but your customer service is shit. I don't want to hear recorded messages that simply read paragraphs off your website which DON'T ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS. Do you employ any humans??????

Hey @skysportnz let me introduce you to the Giro d’Italia. Starts tonight. Are you planning to cover it at all? Nothing in your schedules or pop up channels. There’s even a kiwi cyclist in it.

That was out every day except Noneday #WPL

Have you given up completely on live cycling, @skysportnz ???

I had missed the green jersey change @antmccrossan and I must say I don’t really like it.

Hi @BBC, still pretending to be the world's leading public service broadcaster. When did you turn into pusillanimous failures, and puppets for Tory Central Office? #attenborough #Lineker #FionaBruce #DomesticAbuse

Cancel culture is the claim of the Right that the Left want to do what the Right have been doing for years.

Why do these f***ers actually want to be Prime Minister? They have no vision. They have no burning desire - or even slightly-smouldering desire - to make a better country or a better world

What's happening? I ask, Twitter asks, but there are no answers here any more.

I’ve written a column about the death of social networks which probably won’t be out until next month — I’ve asked them if they can put it online earlier — but here are two paragraphs I’d like to share regardless:

99% likely the Sri Lankan keeper will give covid to half of the rest of the squad. He’s coughing non-stop. #AUSvsSL #T20worldcup22

Any mature society has to balance benefits, mitigations, costs and incentives across all of its members. However there's a certain class of person - and there's a racial, gender and age-group correlation to this - which is incensed if it isn't always at the top.

. @antmccrossan it’s not actually that common IMHO for the two most impressive riders of the year to win the rainbow bands, but it’s certainly the case here

. @antmccrossan racing is so much more interesting without team radios #uciworldchampionship

South Africa are the Millwall of international rugby #RSAvNZL

Good grief, when will captains learn that the last person to listen to for a review is the bowler #ENGvIND
