At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.

The war: 6/10

As much as you want to give a war a number, this is not World War III, it is not going to last four years. It most likely won't last four weeks.

Helen Clark: 2/10

Everything that is wrong with ideological jibber-jabber. From Hipkins to Starmer to Clark, their theory is less relevant in this modern chaotic world than ever.

Dairy: 9/10

Honestly, is it now close to being ridiculous? Five auctions from five. The protein surge is real and we are making bank.

Bill “I saw nothing” Clinton: 4/10

Overshadowed by his wife who looks as feisty as ever and, all things considered, came out of it pretty well – almost as though they were called as a political stunt.

Dave Rennie: 7/10

Got there at last. How low-key was that? Is it possible we just aren't as invested as we once were in All Black rugby?
