For those of you interested in following how are allies in the UK are doing, the Conservative Party has made huge electoral gains and Boris Johnson (BackBoris.com) is likely the new mayor of London. The *official* results will be called in the next couple of hours.

Sky News has more.

The essential hub for all things conservative in the UK, ConservativeHome, is live-blogging the results. I'd encourage you to poke your head in and see how they've deployed Cover It Live to better report the results while also encouraging reader participation.

Regarding the London Mayoral, you should be following Boris on Twitter. And this video produced by ConservativeHome on the current (former) mayor, Ken Livingstone, is priceless:

Get ready for November friends.

UPDATE: The Telegraph has more including this reaction from David "Webcameron" Cameron:

The British Telegraph is reporting that a revolt organized on Facebook has caused a giant bank to roll back student fees.
