Labour vs Labour

Newshub reports:

The bullying allegations against Ginny Andersen outlined in our Newshub story is bad for Labour, but with Andersen losing her seat, it means it’s easier for Labour to exit her if they wish.   

This all comes on top of Newshub on Wednesday revealing Labour backbencher Helen White’s volunteers were leaking against her.   

White won the precious Mt Albert seat by just 20 votes and is facing a recount, but one party insider told Newshub they were hoping 21 votes went the other way so White would be out. Another said White was condescending, complacent and entitled.   

But possibly even more problematic for leader Chris Hipkins is Labour hasn’t even hit the Opposition benches yet – and already it’s leaking like a sieve.  

So we’ve got a Labour activist in Hutt losing a complaint against their local MP and a Labour activist in Mt Albert saying they hope Helen White loses the recount.

Doesn’t seem to be the happiest place at the moment.
