Fail

Phil Goff is wearing gumboots and jeans with mud on them and wielding an axe.

The Labour Party leader is chopping wood and putting some sweat into a stubborn ring from the privets he felled on the 20-acre farm he and wife Mary own in Clevedon.

This piece has a knot running through it but he's not going to let that stop him.

He chops and chops, splinters are flying and everyone takes a step back.

Thus begins a dire puff piece in the Weekend Herald on Phil Goff.

For some reason I am reminded of this.
