When will the first of the local government election results start rolling in?

Will there be a special programme on the wireless this evening?

I've a feeling that you might have your tongue firmly in your cheek, Sandy 😊

However, Radio 4 has coverage of the local election results from 11pm onwards tonight.

sadly, Boris was turned away from the polling stations because he'd forgotten to bring photo ID - despite being the PM whose government first made this a requirement.

No big deal, I suppose, but it's always comforting to read about life's little ironies.
