Barry Soper: Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent on Toitū Te Tiriti cutting ties with Te Pāti Māori

Change is afoot at Te Pāti Māori - as a prominent activist group has severed ties with the party.

His mother, Mariameno Kapa-Kingi, was recently demoted as the Party whip.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper unpacked the saga further - and what the loss means for Te Pāti Māori's political future.
