David Seymour says National and Act getting close to draft agreement. Sources say a final deal is still some time away while Labour will meet today to vote on the party's leadership
Re "the friendship dip" ... one of the saddest things about increasing polarisation is the fracturing of "friendships" of both historic and future opportunities (within wider families as well). There are some people who can ignore things & concentrate on memories and/or what they still have in common, but for most there are views that cannot be reconciled so "opportunity" is lost to meet up, reminisce, be invited/attend events. So so sad & destructive for people who may need these contacts for their mental well being.
