Stuff is officially dead to me now. It would be hard to find a more compromised and ideologically deranged person to install in an editorial role.

He might despise Luxon and rail about the rudderless coalition, but Hooton is a card-carrying fascist, neck-deep in #dirtyPolitics, and not a friend of transparency or democracy.

@phil_stevens mate, they already had Luke "Atlas Network" Malpas as the political editor, they were gone a long time ago

@mu Very true, but even Malpass has but a fraction of the baggage that Hooton brings. So much for Sinead's lofty ideals and big vision for a cooperatively run news outlet.
