1623521833567006720 | @coughlthom I'm picking they've been influenced by the negative propaganda from National, Act, the racists and the tinfoil hat wearers and don't actually know what the Three Waters reform was meant to achieve. | 5 |
1624991763038621697 | @TonyStuart55 @coughlthom True colours? Luxon has been showing us those for the past year. That's why noone trusts him. | 3 |
1623539103198507009 | @coughlthom National ARE AHEAD and Labour ARE NOT You don't even try to disguise your bias do you Thomas #NotAJournalist #Drongos #DefundBiasedMSM | 2 |
1625986537770061826 | @EricCrampton @coughlthom You might be interested in this updated analysis, Eric 👍 https://t.co/3K48Zs0b1G | 2 |
1623533573210009602 | @coughlthom All these polls tell me that Luxon is not wanted as PM | 2 |
1625025888453804037 | @coughlthom PPM counts for diddly squat the only thing that matters is the number of seats in parliament in Oct… Once mortgage payments and a higher cost of living kicks in combined with National releasing policies…it will be game over for chippy off the Ardern block! | 2 |
1623937708845584385 | @coughlthom So..there were options and a decision was made on the basis of which was most beneficial...to the most.. | 2 |
1626049507736817664 | @coughlthom Why would you have a chat with a corrupt MP who with Mahuta withheld the fact they both had secret meetings and altered a document that contravened our constitution to pass a bill You say you are a journalist, we,l go after the corruption story not the fairy tale | 2 |
1623533280258834432 | @coughlthom How anyone can look at the smashed infrastructure in Auckland and not want 3 Waters to come to the rescue as soon as possible is beyond me. | 1 |
1625628174519308289 | @coughlthom Need to put the brakes on cycleways and new road to zero projects and use the money for roading rebuilds. | 1 |

1625023596879052801 | @coughlthom the fact is that the nats have a strong polling position thanks to several years of building a perception of the govt as not being good. The trouble is they have to start actually delivering on some of their talk and so far its a case of SFA from Luxon | 44 |

1624991358439272450 | @coughlthom Luxon will never recover from the way he handled the Uffindell debacle. Noone trusts him as a result. | 30 |
1625628174519308289 | @coughlthom Need to put the brakes on cycleways and new road to zero projects and use the money for roading rebuilds. | 24 |
1623521310424055808 | @coughlthom So not particularly useful. Guess we’ll never know who’s opposed to agglomerated service delivery vs who’s opposed to iwi Māori having a seat at the table | 23 |
1623857684633239552 | @coughlthom part of me wishes they'd gone for the "encouraging more walking and cycling" advice just to witness how badly that would have gone. | 23 |
1624991763038621697 | @TonyStuart55 @coughlthom True colours? Luxon has been showing us those for the past year. That's why noone trusts him. | 22 |
1624980411481993216 | @TonyStuart55 @coughlthom What utter nonsense Luxon was still trailing Jacinda even when her personal popularity was fading, he's had 15mnths 2 show us his leadership qualities & they're still in the toilet...but you go on Tony u keep telling yourself he's wonderful..the rest of us can see the falseness | 20 |
1623561203078541312 | @coughlthom Well that's a win for misinformation, enabled by the media. | 19 |
