  "textContent": "**This is edition 2026/040 of the _Ten@10_ newsletter.**\n\nHi all,\n\nThis is the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise ten news items you generally won't see in the mainstream media.\n\nEnjoy!\n\n* * *\n\n## 1. Luxon and National in serious trouble\n\nBryce Edwards\n\n  * 📉 **Poll Struggles** : A Taxpayers’ Union-Curia poll shows National at just 28%, down from 38% in 2023. This drop fuels leadership speculation and further criticism of Prime Minister Luxon.\n  * 🗣️ **Hooton’s Critique** : Matthew Hooton argues that Luxon’s poor handling of the US-Iran situation makes him a threat to New Zealand’s national security and undermines his credibility.\n  * 💼 **Leadership Turmoil** : Senior National figures, including Chris Bishop, have been involved in leadership challenges, but Luxon has survived due to internal divisions. The party is paralyzed by competing ambitions.\n  * 🔥 **Crisis Mode** : The National Party is in panic, with some MPs acknowledging the need for a leadership change, but fear of the high-risk gamble of replacing a first-term PM is holding them back.\n  * 📊 **Economic Struggles** : National’s poor poll numbers are linked to public dissatisfaction with the government’s handling of rising prices and stagnant wages, intensifying calls for a leadership shake-up.\n  * 🔄 **Leadership Gridlock** : Despite growing pressure, National’s senior MPs remain unable to act decisively due to personal ambitions and the risk of a leadership change too close to an election.\n  * ⏳ **Urgency Growing** : If National’s polling continues to slide, party members may soon realize that their career prospects are at risk, pushing for a leadership change before it’s too late.\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
