There are two other anniversaries that have been celebrated (?) in the past few days: Tony Blair's 7th year in office, and the invasion of Iraq a year ago.

MORI Political Monitor - Analysis
MORI's latest Political Monitor finds, for the fourth successive month, very little difference between Labour and the Conservatives. Labour has regained a slight lead, but the general picture is one of stability. By a two to one margin, the public remain critical of the way Tony Blair is doing his job. This has not translated into higher levels of satisfaction with Michael Howard; his satisfaction rating now stands at -2, the lowest this year.

Londoners 'Satisfied With Life In The Capital'
A recent survey for the Commission on London Governance shows that Londoners express high levels of satisfaction with living in the capital. Seven in 10 Londoners also feel that they have a different outlook to people in the rest of the country, putting this down to a faster way of life and the capital's more multicultural environment. The Capital's history and heritage as well as its cultural diversity are highly valued.

MORI Political Monitor Analysis - Defence / Terrorism Hit New High As Labour And Conservatives Are Neck And Neck
The terrorist attacks in Madrid last week have had an immediate impact on British public opinion, according to MORI's latest Political Monitor.

No Military In Space - Public Perceptions of the Space Industry — Topline Results
The majority of British people think that Space should be a neutral place with no military uses and believe the US is more interested in the military potential of space than putting a person on Mars, according to new research conducted by MORI.

MORI Political Monitor Analysis - Howard Making Little Progress Among The Electorate
Tory Leader Michael Howard's worry on seeing the latest MORI/Financial Times Poll findings will be that he has so far failed to take the Tories any closer to an election victory than when he was first elected Leader last November. This is despite the high profile Howard has taken over the past three months and the heightened morale among Tories in the Houses of Parliament since he replaced Iain Duncan Smith.
