Photo: NZ HeraldNew Zealand First leader Winston Peters has taken to Twitter with a fiery outburst against David Seymour after the Act Party leader laced a criticism of NZ First policy with a personal barb. Peters said the younger man would not "last 10 seconds in the ring with me" after Seymour said the 75-year-old will soon "require a care worker to help him get dressed" as the pair clashed over Peters' pledge to slash immigration. "Winston Peters' swansong promise to slash immigration is tragic," Seymour wrote on Twitter. As for your nasty comments about my physical - I reckon you'd last 10 seconds in the ring with me." "There'd be three hits - you hitting me, me hitting you, and the ambulance hitting 100," Peters wrote.
