“It’s amazing. It’s a godsend actually, because I have been struggling. The vouchers over the summer helped so much. The government has spent billions so how can they not now help children who are hungry?” - Mother-of-three Aisha, who was handed a five-day food parcel at Weoley Castle community centre in Birmingham, as the government faced a backlash over the refusal to provide free meals for children in England over half-term.

“We don’t want to see children going hungry this winter, this Christmas, certainly not as a result of any inattention by this government – and you are not going to see that” - Boris Johnson hints at extra support to tackle holiday hunger over winter and the Christmas break.

“Unconscious bias, from my understanding, having the upbringing and the education that I had, I had no idea what it was. I had no idea it existed. And then, sad as it is to say, it took me many years to realise it, especially then living a day or a week in my wife’s shoes” - The Duke of Sussex. “Dad has got a twinkle in his eye again, a skip in his step because of the fact that his music is resonating with people, and people are touched and moved by his story. It makes him happy, it has given him a new lease of life and it is such a wonderful thing to behold” - Nick Harvey on the reaction to his father, Paul Harvey, an 80-year-old former music teacher with dementia who will release a single he recorded with the BBC Philharmonic orchestra originally improvised from just four notes.
