Ed Miliband has issued a call for a new age of responsibility on the part of everyone in Britain: from those in company boardrooms to benefit claimants.
In what he calls a "new bargain" he hinted at tax breaks for businesses that count as "producers" as opposed to those he labeled as "asset-strippers" and "predators".
John Denham, shadow business secretary, tells us he doesn't fear a backlash from business leaders. Meanwhile Hillary Benn enthused about a speech he says offered Britain a genuine alternative vision to that of the government.
Polly Toynbee argues that while he may be painted as "red Ed" in the right-wing press, this was a speech attacking irresponsibility among the rich that Tony Blair or Gordon Brown would not have dared to give.
The Guardian's cartoonist Steve Bell watched the speech from the very front of the hall - he was fascinated by the Labour leader's jerky motions and his new slogans.
