Simon Bridges has a major problem. He is not John Key. He is not quick on his feet and he is not the least bit funny. His attempts to be the lad with talkback radio have misfired badly. Like this attempt on Radio Hauraki that…

Children should never be used as bargaining chips
I woke this morning to news that Donald Trump was going to solve the crisis over American based refugee children by signing an executive order. This seemed to completely contradict his claims that the problem was all the Democrat's fault but when has that ever…
