New Zealand’s outgoing Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has a “phoniness” and “fakeness” about her, says author Douglas Murray.

“She came in by presenting herself as this completely new being,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“The right type of female leader – one who leads with compassion and care.

“Actually, when it came to the test, she was far from compassionate towards the people of the country she was ruling.”
