“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.
