Tommy Robinson is writing for Jerusalem Post, and that makes some people uncomfortable - opinion
When journalism abandons the debate over ideas and focuses instead on policing who is permitted to speak, the search for truth quietly gives way to the enforcement of acceptable opinion.

Tommy Robinson wears a UTK logo ("Unite The Kingdom") on his clothes as he is seen at a rally in solidarity with protesters in Iran on January 11, 2026 in London, England.

Robinson had previously tried to address “the Jewish Question” in a 2022 article which he deleted shortly afterwards. He divided the Jews into two types – acceptable ones and disreputable ones. He particularly had it in for the Anti-Defamation League – in his eyes a cesspit of Jewish liberalism and subversion internationally.

A health check for #kakapo chick Tiwhiri-A3 two nights ago. This is a genetically valuable (rank = gold) chick, so it gets more frequent health checks. It’s doing well. #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots

Taking a limo to make a grand entrance should have been the finish of him with serious media on day one.Nothing has ever screamed "WANKER" so clearly, so pompously and so incurably.

Luxon repeating the untrue "NZ has 88% renewable energy".

It has that for electricity, but not for energy in general, which is 40%.

Nicola Willis getting a tad snarky with Jenna Lynch at today's post-Cabinet press conference. And now Tova's broken ranks and asked the PM the question that dare not speak its name-will you still be the leader? Willis seems to be heaving big sighs but she may have taken a diazepam ahead of time

A policy for progressives to package Yet another "cost-of-living election" yields an opportunity for meaningful change

The cost-of-living crisis is different from rising inflation.

Starting with food, power, & rentals, an incoming progressive government must signal that it has finished playing nicely with supermarkets, electricity gentailers, and landlords.

Concern over suitable athletics venue for 2034 NZ Commonwealth Games hosting bid None of the three NZ stadiums at previous Games are still used for track and field.

Anyone proposing that more public money should be wasted on vanity project stadiums while core infrastructure crumbles around us should be fired into the sun. www.rnz.co.nz/news/sport/5...

Gareth was good, Ron waffled on like an old guy at the RSA. He did say that Luxon’s poll results are in line with what is being said in Wairarapa

Below a photo of Chris Luxon in the NZHerald headline and text following reads: Luxon says 'hand on heart' he'll lead National to election, but fresh poll results show preferred options Last week's poll showed National on track for one of its worst-ever election results.

Imo this is a lie because the man who leads a govt that’s led the decimation of Te Tiriti in legislation, equity in health, stripped disabled whānau of critical support, cut funding to food banks in a cost of living crisis, thrown people out of jobs and emergency housing DOES NOT HAVE A HEART #nzpol

So RNZ has Gareth Hughes and Ron Mark doing the politics segment - does this mean all their Nat commentators turned them down? #nzpol

Leonard Nimoy was more than a colleague—he was a friend, an ally, and my political soulmate. Leonard played a half-human, half-Vulcan officer—a being caught between two worlds. Yet in his own life, he was perhaps the most profoundly human person I have ever known.

Classic

"A ute belonging to National’s Northland MP Grant McCallum was spotted driving with the words “BYE BYE LUXON” etched into the car’s dirty back window.

McCallum eventually spotted this and confirmed to the Herald the offending slogan was washed off."

A chocolate fish for the first journalist to ask Luxon or Willis "Will you take full responsibility for the rise in inflation this year due to Geo-political events, considering you demanded the same of Labour during the last election campaign?" #nzpol

You'd think so, but that would require Luxon to have a modicum of wisdom

In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.
