David Cameron speech live blog

1537, PH: And Cameron ends on that note, calling on the public to get involved in fixing society: “So come on: let’s pull together. Let’s come together. Let’s work, together, in the national interest.” Standing ovation. More reaction on Coffee House shortly.

1537, PH:
This is good, liberal-conservative stuff from Cameron. He says that the government recognises that it is there to push power to the people. “I know the British people: they are not passengers, they are drivers.”

1535, PH: Strong line: “Mine is not just a vision of a more powerful country, it is of more powerful people.”

1536, PH: The Big Society returns, with a lenghty section on volunteering and social action. Cameron calls this a “call to arms”.

1532, PH: Now the PM is trying to shield the Tories’ right flank on crime and justice. This is an area where “reform is needed most,” he stresses, and talks about elected police chiefs, reducted paperwork, improved rehabilitation, etc.
