This is a very slow election count, I am starting to have some sympathy for Californians now :P

... And, a minute after I hit "Post":

And as I typed that whine...

------------------------------------------------
03.11 BST
Burnham elected MP for Makerfield with majority of more than 9,000

Here are the key results.

Jake Austin, Liberal Democrats – 163

Andy Burnham, Labour – 24,927

Robert Kenyon, Reform UK – 15,696

Rebecca Shepherd, Restore Britain – 3,111

Sarah Wakefield, Green party – 308

Michael Winstanley, Conservative Party – 997

That means Burnham has won with a majority of 9,231
------------------------------------------------

So hopefully, bye-bye Kier.

Can anyone point me in the direction of any personal websites where people are blogging for the fun of it please?

I've been writing on my site now for ~15 years, writing about things that just interest/enrage me.

Just looking for like-minded people really. #askfedi #personalwebsites #blogging #toomanyhashtags
