“I have given my absolute all to being Prime Minister but it has also taken a lot out of me,” Ardern, 42, said in a statement. “You cannot and should not do the job unless you have a full tank, plus a bit in reserve for those unplanned and unexpected challenges that inevitably come along.”

Her ruling center-left Labour administration will vote Sunday on a new leader, who will lead the party to a national election Oct. 14.

The best news in a very long time. I bet they got her. She is about to face a firing squad for her crimes or she already has and that is an actor. Was watching Charlie Ward and Melissa Red PIll the other day. 5 booms and MOAB. I have a feeling that something big went down at Davos. I think they got some of the key players. I hope so. It's a good day.
