QUOTES OF THE DAY

“My plans do not exceed the headroom. I’m very clear that they are about £30 billion worth of costings, and those are affordable within our current headroom. But what is not affordable is putting up taxes, choking off growth, and ending up in a much worse position”

– Conservative leadership contender

Liz Truss, pictured. “Sadly, I am one of many people whose lives have been scarred by the deceitful way in which the BBC Panorama was made and the BBC’s subsequent failure to properly investigate the making of the programme. The distress caused to the royal family is a source of great upset to me”

– Alexandra Pettifer, previously

known as Tiggy Legge-Bourke. “People will be forced into impossible situations – choosing between heating and eating, forced into spiralling debt, and putting their emotional and physical health at significant risk”

– Adam Scorer of National Energy

Action. “The law needs to change. Nobody should have to go through what we went through. Unfortunately today my wife is not here. She shouldn’t have had to die in such barbaric circumstances, that’s what we had to do”

– Graham Mansfield walks free from court after a judge said he acted

“out of love” in taking the life of cancer-stricken Dyanne Mansfield in

– The family of Private Ann Hamilton, who was killed in the Guildford pub bombings, after an inquest into the atrocity concluded.
