Vincent Comeau: Mordant is the name of one of the antagonists in the 3 musketeers sequel 20 years later, so you are on to something there.

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.
