Tories 13% ahead in latest Populus survey – Times | Yesterday evening’s ToryDiary
David Cameron’s ‘Right and Wrong’ speech
"David Cameron yesterday hardened the Tory attack on Britain’s "broken society" by calling for an end to "moral neutrality" whereby society refused to distinguish between good and bad behaviour." – Guardian
"In a conscious shift of strategy, the Tory leader said he would not shirk from discussing public morality and claimed that social problems were often the consequence of individuals’ choices. “We talk about people being ‘at risk of obesity’ instead of talking about people who eat too much and take too little exercise,” he said. “We talk about people being at risk of poverty, or social exclusion: it’s as if these things — obesity, alcohol abuse, drug addiction — are purely external events like a plague or bad weather." – Times
A Telegraph leader describes the speech as "powerful".
Andrew Lilico instigates a philosophical discussion of the meaning of "right and wrong" over at CentreRight.

G8 leaders vow to cut emissions by at least 50% by 2050 – BBC
"Gordon Brown and his fellow world leaders have sparked outrage after it was disclosed they enjoyed a six-course lunch followed by an eight-course dinner at the G8 summit where the global food crisis tops the agenda." – Telegraph
"The truth is Mr Brown would be better served buttonholing G8 European leaders to address once and for all the EU’s grotesque Common Agricultural Policy. Scrapping this wasteful, discredited system of farm subsidy – which encourages the expensive production of food we do not need – would yield far greater benefits than encouraging Britain to recycle its scraps." – Mail leader
