THEY SAID WHAT?

“We cannot play fast and loose with nuclear weapons and nuclear threats. Our government must press for measured responses to bring the temperature down.” – Jeremy Corbyn calling on President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to “wind down the war of rhetoric”. “I think if I threw my hat in the ring, my hat would be thrown back at me pretty quickly” – Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg playing down rumours that he is considering a bid for the Tory leadership. “Even as I’m promoting stuff now, I’m gripped by this perverse urge to say the opposite of what I’m supposed to say. It’s like a goblin dancing in my head and it keeps happening to me in interview after interview after interview.”

– Actor Robert Pattinson, below. “Wales is over there, it’s got mountains in it, there’s a ghost I need to exorcise, I’m going there.” – The Grand Tour star Richard Hammond back behind the wheel for the first time since his accident in Switzerland. “Finding cucumber in things is a continual disappointment.” - A bizarre comment by actor Rory

Kinnear. “I did Strictly for 12 years. It was a good run. Everything reaches a sell-by date. I don’t want people saying, ‘Oh, is Len Goodman still on it? He’s a grumpy old devil”.’ – Len Goodman on his decision to

quit Strictly Come Dancing. “Septuagenarians can have a great love life - oh, you can, you can – all I will say is that experience helps, and arthritis doesn’t.” – Former Tory minister Edwina

Currie, 70.
