THEY SAID WHAT?

“You loved me before I even knew how to really love myself, you are my world honey and let’s not forget you are a bit of a dickhead too” – What former Spice Girl Mel B (Melanie Brown) once said about her husband Stephen Belafonte, whom she is now divorcing, is recalled. “Navel-gazing” – Jeremy Corbyn accuses Labour MPs in a call for the party to unite in the wake of an alleged left-wing takeover plot. “I feel like I very much could be on the verge of scandal. I go out and probably drink too much on tour and say the odd thing that gets me in trouble. Sometimes I regret those things because I know what happens afterwards. Some of them I wouldn’t say again, some I would” – Risque comedian Jack Whitehall. “It’s very civilised here. There’s something about the English not wanting to offend anyone – and egos don’t go mad the way they can do in America” – Actress Thandie Newton, above, on working in the UK. “For those of us able finally to bring about the Northern Ireland peace agreement, we know we could never have done it without Martin McGuinness’s leadership, courage and quiet insistence that the past should not define the future” – Tony Blair pays tribute to the

late Martin McGuinness. “I hope he is parked in a particularly hot and unpleasant corner of hell for the rest of eternity” – Tory peer Lord Tebbit, whose wife was paralysed in the Brighton hotel bomb attack, on Martin McGuinness.
