THEY SAID WHAT?

“This is the farcical level we have descended to - the British Government can no longer even guarantee we have the necessary supplies of toilet paper in a crash-out Brexit. It’s already said it’s willing to flush the economy down the toilet, but now we won’t have the paper to clean up after”

“Boris Johnson, what’s at stake is not winning some stupid blame game. At stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people. You don’t want a deal, you don’t want an extension, you don’t want to revoke, quo vadis?”

European Council president Donald Tusk accuses the Prime Minister of jeopardising the future security of the EU and the UK

But that’s not the reaction I’m getting from my constituents”

Former Conservative MP Heidi Allen, who has joined the Liberal Democrats, on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme

“My beliefs are the same as they always were and I did have a quiet 10 years, almost to the point where you have apathy towards how we can change things, then Extinction Rebellion started happening. You think there is hope and I believe there is hope and now everyone needs to think about what we are doing, governments need to change, companies need to change. We need People’s Assemblies to decide what to do, this is a state of emergency”

Veteran eco-warrior Daniel Hooper, known as Swampy, talks to ITV News about the Extinction Rebellion protests

“It would have been bonkers. I was earning too much money...

It was partly overstated because

I was doing Mastermind as well. But nonetheless I know now I was getting about twice as much as anybody else on the programme. If you’re going to increase all salaries on the programme by that level... somebody has to pay for it and that somebody is the licence payer”
