THEY SAID WHAT?

-

“Although in very different public roles, we stand with her in solidarity to say we shouldn’t be tearing down women in public life through the press or otherwise, and she was pleased to have seen that letter”

- Halifax MP Holly Lynch tells how the Duchess of Sussex phoned her after she sent a letter of solidarity signed by female MPs from across Parliament.

“This election is a once-in-ageneratio­n chance to end privatisat­ion in our NHS, give it the funding it needs. Our NHS is up for grabs by US corporatio­ns in a Trump trade deal. This Government is preparing to sell out our NHS. Our health service is in more danger than at any time in its glorious history” - Jeremy Corbyn warns the NHS is ‘up for grabs’ in a pre-Christmas general election.

“I think it’s quite evident that the whole LFB ... is in the hands of people that are incapable of their jobs. They should be discharged of it. They’re responsibl­e for a lot of lives and they don’t care much” Nazanin Aghlani, who lost two family members in the Grenfell Tower blaze, calls for prosecutio­ns over ‘inadequate’ fire brigade preparatio­n.

“I have to say I find it very hard to see any security upside from Brexit. So it seems to me that our task is to minimise the downside” - Former MI5 boss Lord Jonathan Evans speaks as part of a panel discussing how crime-fighting and security strategies could be affected after Brexit.

“It was an tragic accident. But it has been made worse with the inability of our Government and police force in getting the answers to our questions” - Larna Harber, stepsister of Harry Dunn (pictured), says his loved ones ‘just want the truth’.

“I’ve had to try to develop a thick skin about it, as it can get pretty unpleasant on social media. You can’t please everyone, and the haters tend to be the ones shouting the loudest. I actually had death threats in 2015, which seemed a little harsh” - Glastonbur­y organiser Emily Eavis says in a new book that she received death threats after booking Kanye West to headline in 2015.
