The Country: Jamie Mackay interviews Winston Peters today and he's fired up about Silver Fern Farms, Brexit and...well, everything really.

Winston Peters has never been a man to mince his words and today is no exception.

To paraphrase some choice excerpts:

He knew about the Brexit result before it happened, he was just waiting for the "up themselves" experts to come around to his way of thinking.

Brexit has happened now and everything will settle down and everyone should just get over themselves.

The pound will come back and Jamie should stop thinking about now and look to the future.

My challenge to your Silver Fern Farm management...is, if they think that I'm wrong sue me for defamation

Winston Peters

Mr Peters also has a lot to say about Silver Fern Farms and the Shanghai Maling deal, even hinting at revealing some possibly explosive revelations in parliament today.

This is heated stuff. Everything Jamie suggests gets refuted vehemently. Winston knows the truth and the truth will out!
