There's something really bleak about literal princes campaigning to talk about mental health while NHS mental health services currently consist of telling suicidal people to download an app which is like Uber for mindfulness crossed with Spotify for deep breathing instructions.

In today's Bulletin on the retirements last year of Yang/Huo, I've included some thoughts on how systemic dishonesty from our political class creates conspiracy theorists. In my view, we don't talk enough about this aspect of conspiracism https://t.co/JcCH9BLa3j

Iām sure @grantrobertson1 has envisaged getting up in the house and giving an impassioned speech on inequality many times. But I doubt he ever expected the purpose of that speech to be justifying a wage freeze.

Every-time Sepuloni does a press conference Ricardo trots out the same god-awful lines about communities āthrivingā. Grow up!
Our communities deserve liveable incomes, not being told that the current piecemeal approaches to welfare reform are massive. We will keep fighting for higher benefits and rewrite the whole of the Social Security Act to deliver a welfare system that ensures people can thrive.

I had honestly forgot the fawning international articles about how weād solved capitalism, the self-congratulatory speech from jacinda at Davos, the living standards framework. The āwell-beingā approach may well prove to be a perfect analogy for the legacy of the 6th labour govt.
Sadly, "Wellbeing" appears to be joining other key terms like "transformational", "KiwiBuild", and "kindness" in the Government's list of not-to-be-uttered, embarrassing words. I've commented on this here:

What youāre actually doing is posting cringe
We thinking about how access to housing, higher incomes, and connections to our communities is what will make us safe, not dogwhistle politics that will put more people into prison.

Market collusion... at the state level šš. New level of galaxy-brain unlocked!
This is basically market collusion at the state level. Corporate taxes kill innovation and entrepreneurship. They hand capital to our geopolitical enemies and track our tax base towards more vulnerability to economic shocks.

Violent crime is up and the number of suspects charged is down. Under the Conservatives, criminals have never had it so good.
