In Better or Worse? Polly Toynbee and David Walker looked at what Blair and the Labour Party accomplished after their first term in power. Now, at the end of Labour's second term, it is time to ask those questions again. What has Labour really achieved in the last four years? What was its biggest failure? What are the promises it has kept? What are the promises it hasn't?

Toynbee and Walker assess every issue: health, education, transport, environment, internal security, Europe, international politics and the media. They argue that on many counts Labour have delivered. England has become a wealthier, healthier, safer and even greener country over the last four years. Yet Labour has failed on the most important count - it no longer carries the public with it. Where does the fault lie? Is it the ambiguity of 'Blairism'? The backlash against 'spin'? Or the rise of tabloidism and the ever growing role of the media in politics?

Incisive and balanced, Better of Worse is the most substantial and hard-hitting analyses of Tony Blair's second term in power and of Britain over the last four years.
