THEY SAID WHAT?

“That’s the most disgusting thing. Everyone knew what Harvey was up to and no one did anything.” – French actress Lea Seydoux who claimed to have been attacked by Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced film producer “Parliament, as far as I can see, can do what it wants.” – Commons Speaker John Bercow saying that MPs were at liberty to vote down the Brexit referendum result “The saddest thing that has ever happened to what was Great Britain.”

– Sir Richard Branson on Brexit “You know what? I want to dance through life. I don’t want to scuttle.” – Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, who dislikes being recognised wherever she goes “I am dressed like a drunken rainbow more often than not.” – Just retired cricket commentator Henry Blofeld “On this question we have reached a state of deadlock which is very disturbing for thousands of project promoters in Europe and it’s disturbing also for taxpayers.” – Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, on the issue of the scale of Britain’s financial settlement “There are those moments when objectively everything is fine, but you think you are beyond description, hopeless.” – The Most Rev Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, admitting that he does suffer from “black dog” depression from time to time
