News in Picture

With Parliament rising for the summer break tomorrow, we will be assessing the performance of the new government in "Coalition Britain - a Newsnight Special".

Live from a forge in the city of steel - Sheffield, we will have the results of a poll on public attitudes to the coalition and public service cuts, as well as reaction from a live studio audience.

Kirsty Wark will be joined by a panel of politicians: cabinet minister David Willetts, newly-elected Lib Dem MP Gordon Birtwistle and Labour's business spokesman Pat McFadden to discuss the government's record so far and its prospects for the future.

Former Lib Dem leader Lord Ashdown and one-time Tory chairman Lord Tebbit will be offering their advice on the state of the coalition, while Newsnight political editor Michael Crick will provide his analysis (read more on his blog here).

Do join Kirsty at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
