THEY SAID WHAT?

-

“It is clearer than ever that Theresa May cannot deliver the Brexit deal Britain needs. She is too weak to face down the fanatics in her own party and to deliver a final deal that protects jobs and the economy” - Shadow Brexit minister Paul Blomfield after 60 Tories sent the Prime Minister a letter with new Brexit demands.

“The truth is that these weapons of mass destructio­n are also weapons of mass deception. They provide the illusion of security while actually making the world less secure than ever. North Korea now joins the nuclear club, who will be next?” - The Bishop of Chelmsford, the Rt

Rev Stephen Cottrell.

“We can never build a global Britain on dirty money. We will not create a strong economy on the back of being the jurisdicti­on of choice for every kleptocrat and crook in the world” - Labour’s Dame Margaret Hodge, above, calling for greater transparen­cy from Britain’s overseas territorie­s.

“I just want to say congratula­tions to you ... I am proud and excited and damn near giddy” - Actor Will Smith, praising the cast of Black Panther, the first superhero movie with a predominat­ely black cast.

“If you catch me saying ‘I am a serious actor’, I beg you to slap me”

- Actor Johnny Depp.

“What is the point of a 20-mile bridge if there’s going to be a 20-mile queue waiting to get on to it?” - SNP MP Patrick Grady on the issue of a bridge across the Channel.
