1. ConservativeHome’s Think Tank Central page has revealed the staggeringly long list of Coalition policies that Policy Exchange is laying claim to. Among the twenty-two initiatives are pupil premiums, the OBR and green investment banks.

2. The Spectator Coffee House blog and Next Left are both rollicking on about Simon Hughes’ statement calling for an “end to right-to buy”. Hughes’ addition to the already volatile housing debate is seen as a big scoop for South London Press as he continues to rock the Coalition boat. 

3. Guido has been fanning the flames of Chris Huhne’s expenses claims of late, accusing the “multi-millionaire gold-mining, horizontal jogging Secretary of State for Energy and the Environment” of some quite “interesting accounting”. 

4. Over at Left Foot Forward, Will Straw’s team have been putting daddy issues aside and focusing upon the eco credentials of Labour leadership hopefuls. Their feature on Diane Abbott’s environmentally-friendliness returns climate issues back to the centre of Labour’s identity crisis. The Resonance FM interview with ChocNob can be found here
