Private Eye's MD has written about the Covid vaccines and excess deaths and suggested they're probably not involved. However, his argument, while polite, is full of holes.

Two major polls on Tuesday showed that New Zealand's Labour jumped five percentage points following Jacinda Ardern's shock resignation. Kiwis are glad to see the back of her too, it seems.

Jacinda Arden, the "kind" and "empathetic" Queen of Woke who locked her people in their homes on the appearance of a single case and mandated vaccines across much of the public sector has announced she is to step down.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s popularity has plunged to the lowest level since she entered Government, according to the latest polling, which puts opposition parties on course to win the election next year.

It may be the beginning of the end for Jacinda Ardern, says Nicholas Sheppard, as rumours of her stepping down soon are now frequently being put to journalists.

China’s Zero Covid policy remains very much in place while others, notably New Zealand’s, have been suddenly and embarrassingly abandoned. But will that change after the CCP National Congress in October?

One of the many charges levelled at Brazil's President Bolsonaro is that his sceptical handling of the pandemic was "disastrous". A comparison with other countries, however, quickly shows that to be nonsense.

Covid death rates have reached record highs in New Zealand as the country faces a new Omicron wave, despite high levels of vaccination.
