The sun is shining, which seems apt

Even the Haunted Victorian Pencil and the Woman Who Couldn't Outlast a Lettuce are gone!

They're finally gone omg...

[elisi]

Great gif!

When I woke up on Friday morning and turned on the news, it was almost the first thing that came to mind. The weariness and the relief.

[elisi]

Yeah, it's very accurate. We may have lost some digits, but hopefully we can now recover?

Unfortunately, Hunt is still around, but at least he's not in power ...

[elisi]

But only by 800 or so votes? (Sigh, more people should vote. I wish it was mandatory.)

[greenwoodside]

Joy! I must go find the recording of the votes being declared.

[elisi]

And play it on repeat. ^_^

[promethia_tenk]

I am very happy for you all.

[elisi]

Thank you. All the best to you. 🙏

I'm so pleased for you guys. I only wish the same for us, come November, but I am not sanguine.

[elisi]

You could leave us trailing in the 'who has it worst' stakes...

Good news on one front at least, though the Reform UK victories are sobering. I'd like to hope we'll see a similar outcome here.

[elisi]

🙏🙏🙏

And yeah, bloody fascists. :(

[geeklover80]

Joanna Cherry out too! Get in the bin, TERFs!

[elisi]

And allies have been voted in! Now they just need to get Starmer to stop sucking up to the right wingers.
