| United Kingdom Politics Having secured a third term, we will fulfil our promise to renew our country and take Britain forward to a better future not back to a failed Tory past. Our continuing success depends on our continuing to pursue a new Labour agenda as a modern progressive party. We will focus on three crucial areas: the economy, modernising public services, tackling crime and asylum; building on what we have achieved to make Britain better since coming to office in 1997 |

| Ministers face faith school fight The government is facing a battle in the House of Lords after it abandoned plans to make new faith schools take more children from other religions. Education Secretary Alan Johnson said he had dropped the idea after reaching a "voluntary agreement" with churches. But his Tory predecessor Lord Baker told the BBC he would table an amendment to the Education Bill next week to reinstate the quotas plan. He accused ministers of the "fastest U-turn in British political history".. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6090984.stm      |
