"textContent": "**This is edition 2026/068 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 in limbo\n\nBryce Edwards\n\n * 🗞️ Ongoing coup speculation surrounds Christopher Luxon, highlighted by repeated public assurances of caucus support that signal underlying instability\n * 🔁 Leadership rumours persist because senior New Zealand National Party MPs are actively leaking against Luxon, fuelling media coverage rather than journalists inventing stories\n * 🧟 Luxon is described as a “zombie PM” — stuck in limbo between leadership and removal, with his unpopularity sustaining constant destabilisation\n * ⚖️ A caucus stalemate exists: while many MPs may want Luxon gone, no consensus candidate (Chris Bishop, Nicola Willis, Erica Stanford, Mark Mitchell) can secure majority backing\n * 🧮 Luxon’s team is scrambling to count numbers and maintain support, reflecting a party unable to resolve its leadership crisis and likely to “bleed” politically\n * 📺 Chris Bishop’s profile has grown despite attempts to sideline him, with frequent media appearances and suspected behind-the-scenes destabilisation\n * ⚠️ Luxon cannot easily sack Bishop due to his influence and support within caucus, and risks worsening his position if he does\n * 📞 Reports that party whip Stuart Smith struggled to meet Luxon highlight breakdowns in internal communication and leadership\n * 🧵 Rapid confirmation of leaks suggests a deeply dysfunctional caucus openly briefing media, signalling disorder and disunity\n * 📉 Luxon may retain a technical majority but lacks real authority — “a leader with a majority, but no mandate”\n * 🚪 Resignation is unlikely, as Luxon is portrayed as highly self-confident and unwilling to step down without overwhelming opposition\n * 🙉 Claims he is ignoring negative feedback (like focus groups) suggest a leader increasingly detached from political reality\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",
