THEY SAID WHAT?

-

“The denigratio­n of the Labour Party record in government and its designatio­n by the far left as ‘neo-liberal’ is one of the most absurd and self-defeating caricature­s of modern political history. The Labour Party has paid, but more importantl­y the country has paid, a heavy price for this stupidity”

Tony Blair saying it was “gut-wrenching” that Labour had not demanded a second Brexit referendum.

“Really? Wow. That’s quite amazing”

The Queen’s reported response when MBE recipient and make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury told her she had created two lipsticks in homage to the monarch.

“What we’re doing is delivering a deal that delivers on that vote, in doing so protects jobs, protects the integrity of our United Kingdom and protects the security of people in this country” The Prime Minister in the Commons.

“This Government has spent two years negotiatin­g a bad deal that will leave the country in an indefinite halfway house without a real say, yet they think they can impose a false choice on Parliament between a half-baked deal and no deal when a sensible alternativ­e plan could bring together Parliament and the country” Jeremy Corbyn in the Commons.

“Cabinet and all Conservati­ve MPs should stand up, be counted and say no to this capitulati­on”

David Davis, former Brexit Secretary, condemns the Chequers proposals.

“From what we know of the shambolic handling of these negotiatio­ns, this is unlikely to be a good deal for the country” Jeremy Corbyn.

“Theresa May is not just the worst Prime Minister I’ve ever seen but perhaps the most dishonest one as well” Nigel Farage, former Ukip leader.

“This isn’t Brexit, it’s not even close to Brexit. If it were darts, it’s not missing the board, this is not even the right wall” Tory MP Andrew Bridgen.

“If the Cabinet agrees it, the party certainly won’t”

Tory former leader Iain Duncan Smith saying the issue could lead to the Government’s collapse.

“The deal is hopeless from our point of view. It’s the biggest sacrifice of British self interest in my lifetime” Tory peer Lord Heseltine.

“He is completely infatuated by the red squirrels that live around the estate in Scotland - to the extent that he’s given them names and is allowing them into the house!” The Duke of Cambridge on his father the Prince of Wales.

“My speciality is roast potatoes. I am nearly 15 stone, so don’t think I live on lettuce leaves”

Male model David Gandy, an enthusiast­ic cook.
