Who said it?
“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. In the name of God, go” - Senior Tory MP David Davis calls on Boris Johnson to quit, quoting from a 1940 speech by Conservative Leo Amery to Tory premier Neville Chamberlain, who was in turn quoting Oliver Cromwell. “Britain needs a government that upholds the highest standards of integrity and probity in public life and sadly both you and the Conservative Party as a whole have shown themselves incapable of offering the leadership and government this country deserves” - Bury Tory MP Christian Wakeford in a letter to Boris Johnson announcing his defection to Labour.
“The prime minister’s decision to loosen the restrictions may have relieved the pressure from his backbenchers but will do nothing to relieve the pressure on the NHS. We can’t rely on the vaccine alone when the situation is still so precariously balanced”
- Royal College of Nursing chief executive Pat Cullen hits back at Boris Johnson after he announced that Plan B measures across England are to be scrapped.
“Without you, there would be no me. Thank you for paving the way” - Edward Enninful, editor-in-chief of British Vogue, pays tribute to the magazine’s editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley who has died aged 73. “For me, my worst acting is when I’m allowed to do the bathroom mirror performance. When I’ve got it ready, I’ve been rather good in the bathroom, I’m pleased with myself and I’ve got my various looks and tones. Then I come and do it and it’s a bloody disaster” Kenneth Branagh.
