• Deborah Orr: The immigration debate is not a right-left issue
  Some perceptive arguments in the Independent about the political impact of globalisation – and what to do about it.
• Next Left: Do progressive Conservatives believe in progress?
  The Fabian’s Sunder sets out some pretty good definitions of what progressive politics is all about.
• Paul Krugman’s fear for lost decade
  
  A note of sanity as Krugman calls in the Observer for more stimulus against the cross party cuts consensus.
• Simon Caulkin: Farewell, with a last word on the blunder years
  
  It’s a great shame to see that Simon Caulkin has written his last Observer column. With so much business coverage simply written for business people to confirm their world view, the Observer is a beacon. It shines a little less brightly after today.
