“I think if she gets in there then this party could, actually, get into Downing Street. I’m not so keen on the Hugh Grant guy. I think people are not going to take him seriously” - Pimlico Plumbers founder Charlie Mullins, a former Tory donor who now backs the Liberal Democrats, suggests Gina Miller, the prominent anti-Brexiteer, for the party leadership.

“Let me be blunt, if we are to claim the successes of our time in Government we need to own the failures of it too. We lost too many arguments. When they fought dirty, we were too nice”

- Jo Swinson, below, the Liberal Democrat deputy leader, is not proud of the party’s achievements in the coalition government. “If the Brexit negotiations continue on this path they will end, I am afraid, in a spectacular political car crash. if the Chequers proposals are adopted it would mean that for the first time since 1066 our leaders were deliberately acquiescing in foreign rule” - Boris Johnson.

“I was born to be a show-off”

- Pop singer Sir Rod Stewart.

“It was fun being on Game Of Thrones, but I definitely think they should have killed me off in the episode. I reckon that probably would have been the redemption for people that didn’t like it”

- Singer Ed Sheeran.

“I did a bit of online dating and met an American called Rob. He wasn’t right. He preferred his motorbike”

- Jo Wood, ex-wife of Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood.

“Calling for a second referendum is really giving Theresa May a lifeline, because then she can say: ‘Oh, if I can’t get it through Parliament I’ll go back to the people”’
