Who said it?

-

“The excuses of Conservati­ve ministers have been demolished by the boss of BP himself, who said a windfall tax wouldn’t damage investment in the UK. This one-off levy would raise billions of pounds that could help vulnerable families with their energy bills now. It is a no-brainer” - Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey.

“We have a very strong commitment to investing in the UK, because we see the policies in the UK being very supportive” - Shell boss Ben van Beurden told reporters that the company plans to invest £20-25 billion in the UK in the next decade.

“By using a big chunk of the bloated profits that Shell, BP and others are raking in to make homes warmer, more energyeffi­cient and kitted out with heat pumps, the Government could start to really tackle the climate and cost-of-living crises simultaneo­usly”

- Greenpeace UK’S oil and gas campaigner Philip Evans.

“The Queen’s daily life is so full of responsibi­lity and duty that it was wonderful to see this fleeting moment of relaxation and pleasure”

- Rob Munday whose relaxed 2004 photograph­ic session test shot of the Queen has been unveiled to mark her Platinum Jubilee.

“In some ways, you almost have to laugh because it’s so crazy. I mean, do I really want to track people? I spend billions on vaccines, I don’t make money on vaccines; vaccines save lives, they don’t cause deaths. So I’ve been out in public and some people yell at me that I’m tracking them, and that’s an awful thing” - Bill Gates whose massive donations to Covid-19 research have made him a target of bizarre claims.
