Who said it
“I only started reading at 17, and it completely changed my outlook and mentality. I just wish I was offered the opportunity to really engage with reading more as a child, but books were never a thing we could budget for as a family when we needed to put food on the table” - Footballer Marcus Rashford on the launch of his new book club
“We must never tolerate antiSemitism or belittle concerns about it. And that was not my intention in anything I said this week. I regret the pain this issue has caused the Jewish community and would wish to do nothing that would exacerbate or prolong it. To be clear, concerns about anti-Semitism are neither ‘exaggerated’ nor ‘overstated”’ - Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn
“The PM has always supported devolution but Tony Blair failed to foresee the rise of separatists in Scotland” - No 10 sources attempt to clarify Boris Johnson’s comments on Scottish devolution being a “disaster north of the border”
“Land mines are cruel and senseless weapons that ruin lives and livelihoods. For so many of you, particularly in Stanley, the exclusion tape barring access to nearby beaches had become a sad and perilous fact of life. This is therefore a hugely significant moment for the people of the Falklands” - The Duke of Cambridge hails the islands becoming mine-free
“The thing about Bobby was, he had funny bones. You couldn’t know Bobby and not like him” - Maureen Nolan pays tribute to Bobby Ball as his funeral cortege passed Blackpool Tower
