“The 18th school shooting in the US since January. It is heartbreaking. What will it take to change our nation’s gun laws???” - Actress Julianne Moore, below, on the Florida school shooting in which 17 died. “We cannot and will not be held to ransom by those who have refused to form an Executive for over 13 months. It is now incumbent upon Her Majesty’s Government to set a budget and start making policy decisions about our schools, hospitals and infrastructure. Important decisions impacting on everyone in Northern Ireland have been sitting in limbo for too long” - DUP leader Arlene Foster on the collapsed devolved Government
talks for Northern Ireland. “Sinn Fein engaged, we worked in good faith, we stretched ourselves. We had reached an accommodation with the leadership of the DUP. The DUP failed to close the deal. They have now collapsed this process” - Michelle O’Neill, Sinn Fein’s
leader in Northern Ireland. “Some in the British political society are against the truth, pretending that I am a stupid, stubborn federalist, that I am in favour of a European superstate.

We are not the United States of America, we are the European Union, which is a rich body because we have these 27, or 28, nations” - European Commission President
Jean-Claude Juncker. I’m being victimised here. I need to be furnished on what I’ve done” - Jacob Zuma, who has resigned as president of South Africa amid accusations of corruption, which he denies.
