Reacting to the abrupt resignation of Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s lockdown-loving prime minister, the U.K. political blog Guido Fawkes succinctly summed up her leftist legacy.

Her New Zealand Labor Party is tanking in polling, the country is on the brink of recession and inflation is the highest it has been for a generation.”
