Owen Jones demonstrates what is so wrong with the left of the Labour Party. He gives the impression that he would prefer opposition to a Labour government that he can only agree with 50% of the time. He claims to support people on a low income, but by refusing to support a Labour party that agrees with him on everything, he is doing exactly the opposite.

Producer Steve Albini has died. My choice for an RIP slot song would be 50ft Queenie by PJ Harvey

It's always good to see people accepting that they made a mistake.

A date a couple weeks earlier would be better. Holding it in half-term week means avoiding closing schools for a day to use as polling stations. From a purely selfish perspective, I would be able to keep my record of staying up for every general election since I was able to vote.

Very little attention has been paid to the fact that the Lib Dems, on a significantly lower share of the vote, won slightly more seats than the Tories. The BBC described their 100 gains as "modest" while making Labour's 10 gains sound like a massive triumph.

Given a choice between Ben Houchen and Andy Street, I would have preferred Street to have bee the one who manged to hold on. He seems to be genuinely motivated by what is best for his region. The Labour winner's speech and Street's concession speech both strengthen that belief. Houchen's main aim seems to be to line the pockets of his mates with public money.

Knife crime in London is more or less in line with the national average.

Where is the evidence that voter fraud is a problem?

The Tories changed the law so that the government controls what the Electoral Commission's priorities are. There is no evidence that voter ID fraud is a significant issue. The voter ID requirements are an attempt to tackle a problem that doesn't exist. Just look at what would be needed to change the outcome of an election. First, the party planning to commit the fraud would need to identify which seats will be decided by wafer-thin majorities. That is almost impossible. Then, they would have to find people on the electoral register who will definitely not vote. Get that wrong, and a problem will be identified when the second person claiming to be that voter turns up. The party attempting to commit fraud would need to recruit dozens of fake voters for each polling station. The more people involved, the greater the risk of the fraud being detected. It simply isn't practical.

O'Sullivan's exit means commentators will have to talk about the other players.

The West End Girls and Domino Dancing references are rather blatant. Still, if you can't plagiarise yourself, who can you plagiarise?

So close :(

Public Service Broadcasting will be on tour in the autumn to support their fifth album. They have not yet said what the title will be or what the theme is. I'm sure it will be brilliant anyway :D

I've always thought that replays are part of the FA Cup, including the ties that went to several replays before penalty shoot-outs were introduced. Therefore, I don't like this decision. Unsurprisingly, lower league clubs are unhappy with this, particularly as the decision seems t have been made by the FA and the Premier League with other clubs being ignored. One possible compromise might be to say that ties between clubs two or more divisions apart will always be played at the lower-ranked side, regardless of how they were4 drawn. This used to be the rule in the French Cup; I'm not sure whether it still applies.
