This heralds a new political age, not a new Labour dawn
All general elections are historic, but some are more historic than others. When we look back at the 2024 election in years to come, it will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most momentous ever, not least because it reveals in so many ways quite how much the country has changed.

Partygate and Truss lit the flame that torched Sunak
Labour's success is spectacular. The party's likely overall majority of 176 almost matches the majority of 179 that Tony Blair secured in 1997. Yet it was not a surprise. For most of the campaign, polls of vote intention consistently put Labour 20 points ahead, narrowing only a couple of points at the end.

Size of Labour's landslide is down to one man: Farage
A broken Rishi Sunak took responsibility for the Conservatives' historic defeat, and a jubilant Keir Starmer said there was \"nothing preordained\" about Labour's remarkable victory. But neither man acknowledged that the scale of Labour's landslide was also down to someone in neither main party: Nigel Farage.

Do these results prove our voting system must change?
Even a cursory examination of the election results shows that Britain's first-past-the-post system produces some spectacularly disproportionate and arguably unfair outcomes.

Fallen serial winners facing mother of all identity crises
The Conservatives' perilous state was illustrated when some party figures were privately relieved the exit poll on Thursday night gave them just 131 MPs. \"I'll take that,\" one MP said. Some opinion polls had put the Tories a humiliating third place behind the Liberal Democrats. Their worst result in history could have been even worse. The relief will not last long, once the scale of the defeat sinks in.

Irish reunification back on the agenda as DUP falters
One of the most significant successes in the general election is of a party that will not be represented in the House of Commons. The historic achievement, instead, will be used by Sinn Fein in its campaign to get Northern Ireland out of the United Kingdom.

Sunak's error? Promising too much and delivering too little
After such an emphatic - if not downright rude - rejection by the electorate, it takes more than a little imagination to recall the day that Rishi Sunak became prime minister. On 25 October 2022, Sunak stood outside No 10 and made his first speech in charge of the country. In it, he made his first mistakes, too.

Spain saved by late header as hosts Germany bow out
There's no second summer fairytale for Germany, as it's instead Spain who have the happy ending. For now. Mikel Merino ensured they rose above it all, with a brilliant header in the 119th minute. The big question as to whether they go and actually win Euro 2024 is what the cost of this 2-1 victory over the hosts will be. Toni Kroos didn't get his grand farewell, either, as he instead contributed to a match that often turned ugly.

Tiafoe takes Alcaraz to the brink in five-set cliff-hanger
The bare facts are that Carlos Alcaraz is through to the fourth round of Wimbledon and Frances Tiafoe is not, but that does not begin to explain the theatre that unfolded under Centre Court's closed roof. The crowd hung on every ball in a match soundtracked by gasps and hollers, as the third and 29th seeds put on a show.
