While the final results are set to trickle in slowly, the exit poll for the UK election has shown a historic landslide for the Labour Party.

The poll suggests Sir Keir Starmer will be the next Prime Minister of one of our closest allies, with a potential majority of 170 seats, while the ruling Conservative Party is out after 14 years of power, and has suffered their worst ever defeat to boot.

To discuss the seismic change in UK politics, and what it might mean for a Kiwi OE to London, we’re joined now on The Front Page by former New Zealand political journalist turned expat, Henry Cooke.

Why MP Darleen Tana is being asked to resign from Parliament

Each year around 40,000 New Zealanders are disconnected from the power supply for non-payment, according to Consumer NZ.  

They are surviving winter in cold, dark homes without access to a warm shower or a homecooked meal – sometimes for months at a time.  

It comes at a time when the main players in the power business are making huge profits - including charging hundreds for reconnections done by the touch of a button.  

So how do we ensure that the lights can stay on for everyone?  

Today on The Front Page, as part of the Herald's Power to the People series, we talk with senior Research Fellow at University of Otago’s Department of Public Health, Kimberley O'Sullivan.

Thousands impacted by energy hardship each year - is there an easy fix?

The Government has unveiled grand plans to ‘flood’ the market with more houses, announcing new changes to planning rules that will require councils to plan for 30 years of housing growth.

It comes after Housing Minister Chris Bishop said he wants to see house prices fall.

He’s already getting his wish though, with prices dropping to a point that in some of the country’s biggest cities, homeowners are delisting their properties rather than selling for a discount.

So, will flooding the housing market work in a country where owning property is the cornerstone of our economy?

Today on The Front Page, Opes Partners economist Ed McKnight joins to give his take on the state of the property market.
