Luxon still the boss after three hour caucus meeting

from Checkpoint

Christopher Luxon is still the boss. He emerged from a nearly three hour caucus meeting, revealing he had survived a confidence vote that he called himself. Christopher Luxon said there was good honest discussion in caucus. The PM last week declared he had the full support of his MPs, but by Monday his tone had changed. Christopher Luxon conceded there was potentially a handful of moaning and frustrated MPs, five by his count. The PM's hoping Tuesday's vote will draw a line under intense scrutiny over his position. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.
