Guardian Daily: Primary schools review calls for radical change

My panellists today are Guardian commentator Seumas Milne and the acting director of the New Labour pressure group Progress, Jessica Asato. They cast their eye on a number of stories in the news, including MPs' expenses, City bonuses and regulation of the press.

They also consider the most comprehensive review of primary schools for 40 years, which is published today. It calls for a new curriculum, delaying the formal school starting age to six, and an end to league tables. Professor Robin Alexander, head of the Cambridge Review of Primary Education, outlines some of his team's findings.

And Paul Lewis explains how the film Starsuckers exposes tabloid newspapers' thirst for celebrity stories.
