“I found this report hard to read and it is a day of shame for the Labour Party. We have failed Jewish people, our members, our supporters and the British public. And so on behalf of the Labour Party: I am truly sorry for all the pain and grief that has been caused” - Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer responds to the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s report on the investigat­ion into anti-Semitism in the party. “One anti-Semite is one too many, but the scale of the problem was also dramatical­ly overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media. That combinatio­n hurt Jewish people and must never be repeated” - Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn responding to the very same report.

“We only have to look across Europe right now, at Germany... France last night going into full nationwide lockdowns again. That is what we want to avoid and this is our best chance of doing that” - First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, on Scotland’s new five-tier system of coronaviru­s restrictio­ns which will come into force at 6am on Monday. “I’m absolutely devastated, I’ve lost my partner, my best friend and the funniest man I know” - Tommy Cannon reacts to the death of his comedy partner Bobby Ball at the age of 76. “I’m utterly shocked and devastated to lose my mate Bobby like this... To get to work with one of my childhood comedy heroes was great. But to call him a friend was even better” - Lee Mack also pays tribute to Ball, his co-star in the BBC1 sitcom Not Going Out.
