This month policy on hunting, pollution and policing are discussed. We look back at the effects of the Euro elections and forwards to the Australian polls. Last month, Progress’s masked muckstirrer, ‘Pilgrim’, questioned the value of MPs’ ever-growing casework activities. Stella Creasy rebuts that case in no uncertain terms. Will Davies takes the long view on New Labour and its relation to the market. Progress Report urges boldness in a third term. Matthew Burchell’s ‘Opposition Watch’ examines the difference between Labour’s health choice and the Tory schemes. He also looks in to the Tories’ extraordinary notion of ordinary people. Finally the ‘Endpiece’ gives you some lunchtime surfing.

There will not be a Progress Report in August. If you have any comments, drop a line: [email protected].
