People will debate whether or not you can trust what Peters has said. He did famously wave a no sign up at a press conference repeated times, and the actual answer it transpired was yes – he did know of Owen Glenn’s donation.
Personally I would be surprised if Peters did go with Labour. Not because I particularly trust him, but because 90% of his current support comes from people who voted for National, NZF or ACT in 2023. He would face a huge backlash if he turned around and put Labour in.
