Anything in between and we give the victory to reform for nothing

We are 0.2% behind Reform according to doorstep polling. Little more than 70 votes. If Labor wanted to do the decent thing they would step down and show Reform where they belong.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
