Who’s commentating the Wahs tonight on Sky? And where’s Glenn? #wahs.

Shocking that our trade hustlers and foreign policy kowtowing to Trump’s America have failed to convince Washington we deserve mate’s rates on tariffs. But be assured: This isn’t our first rodeo.

3/Peters: "Where are you now Mr Espiner? . I've got a message for RNZ and Guyon Espiner - if you think you're going to get away with this, I've got news for you and it's all bad.".

2/ Peters in full flight gets his decades mixed up, saying Labour's leader Chris Hipkins got himself in a tangle "on the Holmes show this morning".

NZ First's Winston Peters attacking RNZ's Guyon Espiner and Labour's Ayesha Verrall about the Govt being accused of a '$300m tax break' to big tobacco. Tells Verrall she is "a dumbo". "We have had enough. Verrall is either ignorant or has deliberately mislead this House.".

Foreign Minister Peters, chiding a Labour questioner on whether NZ will follow UK with conditional promise to recognise Palestine, says not to have a colonial mentality, the Govt remembers the Statute of Westminster 1933 and to get an education. Fact: that statute is 1931.

This happens to almost every PM - right back to Bolger, in my memory, at Eden Park, even the popular ones like JK and Ardern got a degree of jeering. it's a national sport. Watch: Luxon booed by crowd at netball finals
