Jacinda Ardern resigns before being kicked out by lockdown-weary voters…

There was something quietly impressive about the way Jacinda Ardern announced her resignation as New Zealand’s prime minister this week.

She never lost an election, nor did she have a bloody backstage coup by a party rebel.

It was simply, she said, that after five “challenging” years, she “nothing left in the tank”.

But I think that’s not all.

Her Labor Party now lags behind its Conservative rivals and the next election is just months away in October.

This will be the first opportunity for Kiwi voters to have their say since locking them down with some of the world’s toughest anti-Covid restrictions.

Loved ones died alone and unseen, friends were kept away from funerals, and newborn babies remained strangers to grandparents.

In a clumsy attempt to appear more compassionate, her government has introduced an online lottery that allows residents trapped abroad to win the right to enter their country.

More than 50,000 applied each month, but only 5,000 were allowed through expensive quarantine hotels guarded by the military.

“But unfortunately I have not. To continue would be to the detriment of New Zealand,” she explained.

Ardern’s promise to be by his side as he enters school this year says a lot.

Her admission was true that when she was struggling to keep her composure, she was simply running empty-handed.

But even if her party was gaining momentum in the polls, I still can’t convince myself that she would be walking away.

She’s not about quitting when she’s leading, rather than quitting before it can be an election disaster.

And one of her own works.

However, if Harry wants to improve on these ratings, it would be wise to wear socks.

It was Tammy Wynette, who famously sang “Being a Woman Can Be Hard”.

I don’t want to challenge her, but unfortunately she is wrong. It’s a lot harder.

According to new figures this week, mothers in England and Wales older than ever.

There are many reasons for that, but perhaps the biggest is that more women are pursuing careers.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the average age of childbearing in 2021 will be 30.9, nearly five years younger than in the 1970s, when the average was just 26.4.

Fertility rates have also fallen further than previously estimated and are now at record lows.

birth in Woman Today, there are twice as many mothers over the age of 40 as teens, but just 50 years ago, teenage mothers had nine times as many babies as mothers over the age of 40.

It seems we can never win. Wait until you’re stable in her 30s with a decent career and financial independence, and society says you’re too old to have children.

But if you give birth in your 20s and have to rely on benefits, you will be labeled as a beggar.

This is truly a women’s struggle.

No one makes negative comments about the age at which men have children.
