New Zealand First has gained popularity in the latest Taxpayers' Union Curia poll, gaining enough support to push over the five percent threshold to return to parliament.

It comes after Act leader David Seymour says he refuses to partner with Winston Peters.

But that may have to change as a National-Act government is looking more solid.

Political commentator Brigette Morten joined Roman Travers to break down the latest numbers.

Horses and people are still hospitalised after a number of animals belonging to the Household Cavalry ran through the streets of London.
