    And we all know what ‘mergers and acquisitions’ are really like! If he thinks he’s doing a hostile takeover this won’t go well at all

      And as it turns out the only ‘merger & acquisition’ he can name is the attempted coup he tried on Virgin when CEO of AirNZ that failed so spectacularly AirNZ sold their entire stake.

        Which is kind of a worry. I’m getting a big “lies on his CV” vibe from him now.

          Oh i’ve had that from very early on. Even in yesterdays articles summing up the state of negotiations there were things like he’d said in the morning that he was keeping the National Party Board and Caucus up to date on things. But then later in the day explained that someone else was talking to the board and he was only talking to the specific caucus members when something he was negotiating that was in their purview came up. Very much not what you would call a straight shooter.

            Argh one of those. We’ve all worked with someone like that, how on earth did he get voted in? I guess not being Labour was enough.
