Would extending civil partnerships to heterosexual couples "undermine the sanctity of marriage"? It's a real risk, according to David Cameron, if we are to believe reports in the Sunday Times that the prime minister intends to veto such proposals in direct opposition to Clegg and the Liberal Democrats.

With the latest warnings delivered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) over the past few weeks, no world leader will ever be able to claim that they were caught off-guard by climate change.
