Monty Python reference to Negus

In the "Election Special" sketch on Monty Python's Flying Circus, John Cleese, as the newsreader, announces, while reading a series of election returns that "Arthur Negus has held Bristols. That's not a result, it's a bit of gossip". Can anyone explain precisely what this referred to?

I know that sketch well!!! "Bristols" is an old English slang term for "breasts". The expression used during election coverage "So-and-so held Whatdoyoucallit" ie retained their constituency (seat in Parliament/local council etc). Combine the two, hilarity ensues!!
