Hard News: Jones: The contender leaves, in reply to Pete George,
How long ago? What does he do now?
He hung up his gloves, and makes the other guys chase chickens around to increase their agility.

Hard News: Jones: The contender leaves, in reply to Russell Brown,
@publicaddress @torshin but some of us had to punch above our weight for that team
Oh really. Do tell.
He's talking about when he bashed Henare, despite being the little guy.

Click! It's honorary Friday, because of Anzac day.
Love the Etta :-)

Furthermore, consider that it's likely that Labour was completely blindsided here, whereas National, as the instigators of talks with Jones about his future, may have actually had a strategy. Seriously, how does one prepare for a sucker punch?
*ETA Mixing metaphors here, I think that they probably tried to get into the dance again, but just got kinghit by the bouncer.
*ETA2 The bouncer probably already warned Cunliffe he needed to get rid of that shit shirt.

So what moves should Labour have busted on this dance floor?

Hard News: Jones: The contender leaves, in reply to Sacha,
Are you saying that Morning Report is biased against Labour because of Labour's comms strategy? What could they be doing that would influence the choice of talking heads of an independent news outlet? I'm not saying you're wrong here, just that I'm genuinely interested in how you think they could have done this better? Slipping inside tidbits to sympathetic "independent" left wing commentators, so they get the gigs? Or what?

Labour’s ongoing inability to manage media and framing is really hurting them.
Seriously, how is it their fault that Morning Report would choose that particular clique? That comment read almost like one of Imperator Fish's parodies. "6 Anti Labour commentators hated on Labour in Morning Report, giving further firm evidence of how poor Labour is".

Not that it leaves Jones without options. A big hole opened recently in Maori talkback. Maybe he and Henare can make a winning team.

I think I need a lie-down.
I made sure I was lying down when I read the news in the first place, this morning.
Jones is gone , whatever
Yup. The only interesting bit now is whether the Nats will make good on their promises. I guess they have to, if they want to use this strategy again. But the best play of all would be to just go nah! Soz Shane. Nothing for you after all. Then the accusation of deliberate bribery can't even stick.

Can't even decide if I care about this. I don't think he was much of either an asset OR a liability to Labour. He probably attracted as many people as he repelled, and his anti-Green rhetoric was always obvious posturing that could only be dropped if Labour/Greens were in a position to court Peters, after Jones had picked up the rugged douche vote. Labour might be a bit more on message after this, although I'm still fucked if I know what message that is. We don't like coke snorters, whether their spouses choke them in public or not? Color me confused.
