Jacinda Ardern has actually announced she will give up as New Zealand prime minister following month, claiming she no more has “sufficient in the storage tank” to lead.

Ms Ardern choked up as she described exactly how 6 “difficult” years in the job had taken a toll.

She will certainly tip down as Labour Event leader no later than 7 February. There will certainly be a vote in the coming days to determine her substitute.
