THEY SAID WHAT?

-

“The US and UK are joined at the hip in their military co-operation. There’s nothing that would happen to you where we wouldn’t be there to fight for you. You know that” - US President Donald Trump meeting Prime Minister Theresa May at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerlan­d. “For too long our negotiator­s seemed to have been cowed by the EU. Their approach seems to be that we must accept what the EU will allow us to do and build from there. This is no way to negotiate and it is no way for this country to behave”

- Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg. “Trump is a dangerous, misogynist­ic racist and is deserving of the protests he will undoubtedl­y face. If and when he comes to the UK, the Liberal Democrats will be at front and centre of the protests” - Liberal Democrat deputy leader

Jo Swinson, below. “As an independen­t country, no longer a member of the European Union, the United Kingdom will once again have its own trading policy. For the first time in more than 40 years, we will be able to step out and sign new trade deals with old friends, and new allies, around the globe”

- Brexit Secretary David Davis. “I’ve always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not. And so it’s not something that interests me. I don’t have the DNA for it” - TV’s Oprah Winfrey ruling out running for the US presidency. “There’s nothing a composer likes more than hearing their melodies played by a cracking orchestra” - Lord Lloyd-Webber on a compilatio­n of his music put together to mark his 70th birthday.
