I'm watching election returns from the UK because it's nice to see some good news for a change.

Of course, I rarely know what they're talking about. "Labour has made a notional gain in Cripping & Bonesbury!" Uh, yaaaayy!

Labour has gained the Paisley seat! And has also gained Lothian East! Labour holds Narnia! And Argyle! Numbers coming in soon from Treacletart!

Penny Mordaunt, the Conservative whose name sounds the most like a villain in a YA fantasy novel, has lost her seat. Or riding. Or perhaps fallen off a horse, and jolly good that, too.

Things are coming down to the wire in Shrieking-by-the-Sea...

Praful Nargund haș lost, despite being a mythical dragon from Wagner's Ring Cycle...

Nigel Farage has won a seat in Eric Clapton. To celebrate his victory he will eat three immigrant children, or "dusky veal," as they're known in the Reform Party...

The Tories have held their seat in Great Pillock, but it'll be a much harder fight in Pemmican Loosely and Garth.

Excuse me, "Thangam Debbonaire"?

So, Reform has won Boston & Skeksis and the Conservatives lost Nelwyn Frampton. The Sackville-Bagginses have yet to speak.

I spoke too soon. Suella Sackville-Braverman has held her seat in Gilesham and Waterlouisville. "Take that, Frodo," she was heard to mutter darkly.

Richard Holden has eked out a win in Basildon & Billericay, earning his nickname of "Basildon Dickie" once again.

Penny Mordaunt lost though

Any idea if the former prime minister held off the challenge from Count Binface?

I think it's still too close to call.
