THEY SAID WHAT?

-

“I’m not a stand-up comedian. I am Prime Minister” – Theresa May.

“We must on no account follow (Jeremy) Corbyn, and start to treat capitalism as a kind of boo word. We can’t lose our faith in competitio­n and choice and markets but we should restate the truth that there is simply no other system that is so miraculous­ly successful in satisfying human wants and needs”

– Boris Johnson.

“I can honestly say I’ve never had a beer in my life. It’s one of my only good traits. Can you imagine if I had, what a mess I’d be? I’d be the world’s worst”

– President Donald Trump. “It’s a mistake to think that the only heroes are white men”

– Actress Jodie Whittaker, above, the first female doctor in Dr Who.

“They are making us ignorant, stupid and unhappy. And they are phenomenal­ly successful. More fool us”

– Veteran broadcaste­r Michael Buerk, attacking Facebook, Google and Twitter saying they had no concern for truth.

“We felt like we were mavericks. We were in Liverpool, right at the heart of it, and we could walk out and down the docks and speak to people. It kept us real and helped us come up with new and exciting ideas”

– Richard Madeley on the early days of his TV series, in Liverpool,

with his wife Judy Finnigan.

“People are still angry. Once this inquiry is out the way and we find out what the results of this will be, I think it’s not until then that we’ll really see what the healing process will be for people.”

– Ex-England footballer Les Ferdinand on the Grenfell victims.
