    It's been a very interesting morning I have to say. Some very unusual results in some places.

    The funniest moment was the Tory mayor who won turning up without his blue rosette and claiming he forgot it. Apparently he’s been distancing himself throughout the campaign from his own toxic party.

    I think the best part of today is seeing all the photos of dogs at polling stations. That never fails to bring a smile to my face.  :)

    Did I see a ferret on a leash at one point?

    I've not seen any ferrets this year, but I'd be super happy if it happened.

    I enjoyed reading about this guy Howling Laud Hope, Official Monster Raving Loony Party.

    He was a Blackpool nominee. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howling_Laud_Hope

    Funny guy.

    Today has been a good day, seeing the Tories lose the local elections. Rishi and the Tories are on borrowed time.

    It's a bit premature for celebrations. There's still a General election to go. I am optimistic though.

    Thanks for the update. I've not seen much news today really.  Been supervising hubby doing the decorating.
