National's been on a steady downward slide in the polls for 3 years so their go-to phrase "stick with the plan that's working" is probably the worst thing they could be saying at the moment.
People know the plan isn't working.

The historic re-election of Brazil's President Lula is a victory for BRICS, Palestine, the Brazilian working class, and the Global South.
It's also a blow to US imperialism, Israel, Brazilian oligarchs, and dollar hegemony.
I explain in this video:

This account keeps making wild predictions about an economic crisis hitting China & so far their success rate is 0%.
Do they ever get sick of being completely wrong?
China's 2008 is happening now.
Property investment in China dropped -21% YoY in the first 9 months of 2026, its largest decline for this period of the year on record.
This marks a deterioration from a -20% YoY decline in the first 8 months of 2026.
The latest drop is also significantly worse than the -16% decline recorded during the 2020 pandemic.
Property investment in China has now contracted every month since 2022, its longest declining streak on record.
For perspective, during the 2008 Financial Crisis, this figure never fell below +1% YoY growth.
China's property sector is experiencing a historic downturn.

Huge news for Latin America, and the world:
Lula da Silva has won reelection in Brazil, despite blatant electoral meddling by the US.
Brazil is the biggest country in Latin America, a major geopolitical power, and a founding member of BRICS.
The US empire wanted to put back in power the corrupt, far-right Bolsonaro dynasty, which is extremely pro-US and pro-Israel.
The Bolsonaros vowed to minimize Brazil's role in BRICS, serve the interests of Brazilian oligarchs and big landlords at the expense of the working class, uphold the global US dollar system, and let US corporations plunder Brazil's natural resources -- especially its rare earths and critical minerals, which the US wants to reduce its reliance on China.
In contrast, Lula comes from a poor family and has always put the interests of the working class first. He has a non-aligned foreign policy, 100% supports Palestine, strongly believes in the importance of Global South integration and cooperation, and was a co-founder of BRICS.
Lula will deepen Brazil's partnership with China and the rest of the Global South. He will also continue to push for the transformation of the international financial system and will challenge the global dominance of the US dollar, which infuriates Washington.

No other administration has been as effective in removing the mask of western imperialism like Trump's.
Rubio describes a situation exactly like the US (failed promises, corruption, privileged lives for a few) to justify an overt regime change operation.
An ugly, ugly empire.
Why do the tech oligarchs shadow ban our posts when we use the G-word to describe Israel's actions?
Because it's the truth.

A war is coming to the West Bank
Yesterday Palestinian resistance fighters conducted a surgical strike against Israeli occupation soldiers, fully in accordance with international law.
In response, Israeli government immediately announced that they will do war crimes and started doing war crimes.
All the Palestinian villages in the West Bank are under siege, the city of Hebron is under siege. IDF is demolishing house after house, raiding family after family. They said they want to turn Hebron into Rafah.
More than 250 families were kicked out into the streets with nothing. People slept on the street last night.
The Israeli election is in 3 days, and the Netanyahu-Smotrich government is going to use this to start a war in the West Bank.
The only way to stop this is pressure from all directions. We know it works. International pressure worked for the besieged house in Qusra, which still belongs to the Palestinians because of the all-around attention. It can work for Hebron too.
But it will require EVERYONE reading this doing everything they can to stop this. Call your representative, hold a demonstration, organise direct action against the occupation’s assets abroad. Keep attention on the West Bank.
ACT NOW.
Policy on the hoof when your prediction failed to materialise.
Just Announced: NZFirst to Remove Climate Tax From Fuel
New Zealand First will abolish the ETS tax from fuel which means immediately fuel will be 12 to 14 cents a litre cheaper.
Over the past year fuel consumers have paid 12 cents a litre of petrol, and 14 cents a litre of diesel under the ETS, adding to the excessive cost of our imported fuel.
A total of $850 million has been taken away in the past year from consumers and businesses and allocated for the purchasing of Carbon Credits as part of the ETS linked to the Paris Agreement.
New Zealand First will remove this burden on consumers and businesses over the next term of government.
There is no substitute for diesel for industry. Likewise, ordinary consumers have suffered too much with the cost of petrol.
People need to understand that when you propagate woke green ideology, it costs New Zealanders while delivering us nothing.
If a Green/Labour government is elected they will put even more ETS costs on New Zealanders as they did in 2021 when they pushed ETS charges up to 20 cents a litre, taking $1 billion out of the pockets of NZ consumers.

Israel has murdered a who's who of frontline journalists exposing its crimes in southern Lebanon, so I have little doubt it destroyed Radwan Mortada's family home as revenge for his blockbuster investigative documentary on the pager attacks
His home was several km behind the Israeli-imposed yellow line, so the occupying soldiers went out of their way to blow it up
The photos in @wyattreed13's report illustrate what a devastating loss this is
Earlier this year, Israel was destroying 1000 homes a day in southern Lebanon
The Israeli army targeted prominent Lebanese journalist, @radwanmortada, pillaging and demolishing his hand built family home, located outside the “buffer zone” in southern Lebanon
Was it retaliation for his widely-viewed film on Israel’s pager attacks?

Pretty sure this guy campaigned last election on the first $14K being tax free for working class Kiwis, then never implemented it & now he's proposing tax cuts for the capitalist class.
What happened?
This guy used to hate-boost my posts to loads of people, but it looks like his followers have given up on him, which is understandable.
50 impressions & 3 likes in 4 hours is not the return I was hoping for.
Hope he picks up his game soon.
If you haven't been following the election in Israel, all you need to know is the military industrial complex will win & humanity will lose.

This is Zionist Shulamit Aloni – former Israeli minister admitting that Israel weaponizes antisemitism:
“Antisemitism is a trick, we always use it. We bring up the Holocaust and call people anti-Semitic if they criticize Israel.”

China commemorates 90th anniversary of Red Army's Long March today.
Labour's not running a woke campaign & that should be helping them, but all it has done is expose their milquetoast, third-way neoliberal economic philosophy.
Their policies are too incremental.
They lack boldness, which is needed for them to be effective in this change election.
Feels like the Greens are overdue a scandal.
The pretend outrage over gangs doesn't count because it's an underwhelming rehash from the 2023 election & it's very boring.
It's nowhere near the level of shoplifting or exploiting migrant labour.
