It's brilliant they're officially collaborating; about time. All that joined-up talent will make a vibrant bunch, with everyone more space to concentrate on their specialties; and such a relief to know at last that a vote for either is a vote to get rid of the Nats, with no danger of a mini-Nader effect. Sure, a lot will have to be thrashed out, but that's exciting too.
If this hasn't got the Nats really worried I'll be very surprised. -

Oh Chris, that's a tiny bit pathetic! I suspect Little was implying ONE decent house each to LIVE in, before bothering about anyone (of any kind of surname) acquiring further houses for profit!

Labour has an "empty core"? All Little's speech did was remind everyone how rich Labour's core is; a timely and passionate reminder that ensuring this core (education, health, decent jobs and housing for all), stays strong, must be the priority and the rock on which all policies are built. Anyone who sees emptiness, no values and nothing to "stand for" is completely beyond help.

“The accusation is widely made that Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters have moved to the extreme left on economic policy. But this is not supported by the candidate’s statements or policies. His opposition to austerity is actually mainstream economics, even backed by the conservative IMF. He aims to boost growth and prosperity.”

Access: Persistent Polio, in reply to Gordon,
I've had polio too but have never referred to myself as "a polio" - ew - or even heard the expression before this article.

Access: Persistent Polio, in reply to Rosemary McDonald,
Yes there have been others; I remember reading that it's an "unstable" vaccine. Whatever that means.
