THEY SAID WHAT?

-

“Some elements of our media would rather see Britain fail than see Brexit succeed” – Internatio­nal Trade Secretary Dr Liam Fox

“Schools are at a crisis point now. This is a real crisis that is having a material effect on the education of children right now” – actor Steve Coogan

“There are interest groups and individual MPs in this party who think it’s their God-given right to rule. No MP should be guaranteed a job for life and it’s crucial that we all get with the times” – a warning to his colleagues from Labour’s Chris Williamson

“Oh, my God. My wife has just put her sister’s fresh breastmilk in my eye to cure an infection. I know it sounds disgusting, but I had three lots of it yesterday. My wife administer­ed it through a pipette straight into my eyeball. My sister-in-law said the antibodies in the milk will do my eye good. I don’t know whether to believe it, but I thought I would try it anyway” – Broadcaste­r and adventurer Ben Fogle, pictured

“Yes, no question at all” – Jeremy Corbyn’s response when asked whether he thought Labour would win the next general election

“There’s a $90bn-a-year global education aid funding gap – one decision at G20 in Hamburg could help 825 million kids” – Gordon Brown, former Labour Prime Minister

“I once interviewe­d the Duchess of York while she ate her lunch. I came away with nothing to say because all I had done was groak” – Broadcaste­r Sandi Toksvig. (To groak is to silently watch someone who is eating while hoping to be invited to join them)
