I am constantly astounded by National's compulsive, obvious Trumpian lies.

Let me count the ways they have lied in this wee graphic. 1. They have made the Labour bar fatter than the National bar. There's no reason for this other than to trick the casual observer into thinking petrol prices are higher under Labour than they are.

We don't know for certain yet what lay behind the attack on @jamespeshaw, other than that the assailant was "shouting about the UN".

Regardless, it should be a cause for deep reflection from those who promoted and legitimised the UN Global Compact conspiracy theory. This racist, far right conspiracy theory first emerged on Breitbart and the explicitly Nazi Daily Stormer, which claimed it would "Bring 60 Million Brown People to Europe". thespinoff.co.nz/politics/02-02…
