This manufactured smear attack on Cunliffe has been building since the Queens Birthday social media attack against Hone and Kim by the Anyone But Cunliffe gang (ABCs). It was followed up by Claire Trevett’s sudden knowledge of an obscure loophole in Labour Party rules that allows a majority plus one of Caucus to topple the leader 3 months out from an election, safe in the knowledge they don’t need to return to the membership under the new voting structure for 3 months after the election.

This is Labour’s Red Wedding Games of Thrones moment, a manufactured coup using a constituent letter Cunliffe sent THAT DOES NOT advocate for Donghua Liu, read it, he doesn’t advocate for the man…

Cunliffe didn’t advocate the mans case or call the police the way Maurice Williamson did, he didn’t go have a private dinner on the taxpayer the way Judith Collins did, he hasn’t appointed mates into positions of GCSB power that bypass the normal process the way Key does. Cunliffe sends out thousands of letters as a constituent MP, this isn’t a smoking gun, it’s a smoking turd. The letter is 11 years old!

The real question is who has set this up?

The moment the rule takes effect is the 20th of this month. Two days away, this is a set up by whomever wrote this loophole into the rules, which were changed with little notice at the start of the Labour leadership race last year.

It’s a destabilisation attempt and a naked coup to topple Cunliffe. Already the well rehearsed and perfectly timed calls to resign are coming from the NZ Herald.

It is time for David to fight like he has never fought before. Those forces that have sat on their hands have quietly plotted their vengeance. He needs to put this coup down without mercy.

Remember people: The Prime Minister John Key dodges the truth about knowing and meeting Ian Fletcher, denies strong-arming State Services Commissioner over prioritising Fletcher’s appointment to the GCSB, and that is considered a shoulder-shrug moment. Cunliffe forgets a letter written 11 year’s ago and it is a crucifixion offence, or alternatively a locked in the stocks until June 20 situation.
