@Nickiquote

I'll vacuum the spiders from my galoshes.

@Nickiquote The council is nearly always Labour controlled, with occasional flips to the Lib Dems. (There's only one Tory councillor in the whole city right now.) It's currently no overall control, because a bunch of Labour councillors left the party to sit as independents due to some internal party shenanigans, but Labour are still in charge as a minority administration.

All seats up for grabs in May, and new ward boundaries. Should be interesting.

@Nickiquote Anyway, I'm not staying up for the by-election. I bet there will be recounts, given how close the result appears likely to be.

@Nickiquote I'm trying not to, better to sleep now but I'm going to need to deploy my most relaxing yet distracting podcast for this

[kathimmel@mstdn.social]

@Nickiquote @HCBunny is there a projected time for the results? i did an awful thing & looked on xcancel. all the talk's about the drama over a supposed preponderance of 'family voting' or some shit.

[nickiquote@mstdn.social]

@kathimmel @HCBunny Between 3 and 4.

[kathimmel@mstdn.social]

@Nickiquote @HCBunny taaaaaa! probably see you then, then.

[kathimmel@mstdn.social]

@Nickiquote This is all great BUT today's earworm is now Gorty Dents to the tune of Baby Shark. Worth it.

@Nickiquote a coalition of X Y Z that came together to dominate a constiuency - so a majority you mean then eh? Get a grip ffs.

@Nickiquote Famously, Islamists are always devoted in their support for parties with gay Jewish leaders.

[robinadams@mathstodon.xyz]

@Nickiquote The progressives were told to hold their nose and vote Labour.

[davidbcohen@twit.social]

@Nickiquote I heard a coalition of Islamists and woke progressives came together to dominate his personal life.

[mewsleah@meow.social]

@Nickiquote bet that's what their treasurer said too. well, maybe not "brilliant"

[mewsleah@meow.social]

@Nickiquote i hadn't realised the extent to which he'd performed the classic midlife crisis cliché
