Labour's Kerrin Leoni has resigned after a video emerged of her campaigning at a whanau event, with gang members present.

A photo recently emerged of National's Tama Potaka standing next to patched members of the Mongrel Mob., prompting Labour's Chris Hipkins to accuse Luxon of 'double standards'.

Former Minister and commentator Peter Dunne says these events have slowed down Labour's political momentum, and the damage has been done.
