Guys, if the Greens can get 40% of the vote like Labour in 2017 it'll do just fine. We've already seen that a landslide is possible with 33%.

Exciting #booksky ! The first print version of my novel has arrived! If you're interested in giving me feedback (even a few chapters), let me know.
It's a thriller about a journalist uncovering a conspiracy involving corrupt politicians, and centered around a migrant detention center in the UK.
