The round up of the day’s events.

• Nick Clegg says in tomorrow’s Guardian Britain’s wealthiest people should face an emergency tax to avoid a breakdown in social cohesion as the country fights an “economic war” caused by a longer than expected recession.
• He also used the interview to all but make the first official announcement of  David Cameron’s forthcoming ministerial reshuffle, indicating that David Laws would be returning to government. “I have never made any secret of the fact that I want to see David Laws back in government,” Clegg said of the former chief secretary to the Treasury, who is expected to join the Cabinet Office with a particular focus on early intervention and the economy.
• David Cameron was asked whether he is man or mouse over the third Heathrow runway?
• Whilst Justine Greening threatened to resign if a third runway were to be built, and Nick Clegg backed Justine Greening
• Mitt Romney’s campaign team has downplayed the Republican presidential challenger’s chances of achieving a vital poll bounce from the party’s convention, blaming the havoc caused by hurricane Isaac.
