QUOTES OF THE DAY

“There’s more than a hint of bitterness there. He’s trying to create some attention for himself. He’s jealous I’m more popular than him”

Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli squabbles with fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood, who had described him as an “attention

seeker”. “You try and do these things under the guidance of other people. I don’t know a thing about accounts. It’s of no interest to me. I signed those things. It’s my responsibility. So, all I could do was just hold your hands up, say ‘I’m sorry and, whatever I owe, pay it back immediately’ and get on with your life”

Take That star Gary Barlow on the tax avoidance scandal he was

involved in.

“It would mean grave uncertainty for the nation with a very real risk of no Brexit or leaving the European Union with no deal”

The Prime Minister warning that a

defeat in the Commons for her Brexit plan would lead the country

into “uncharted waters”. “The younger generation will never forgive us if we now exclude them from the corridors of European power”

Lord Heseltine, former Tory deputy prime minister, attacks Brexiteers. “I think he himself realises that he has committed the mother of all disasters and this is going to go down in history as a disastrous political decision to hold a referendum and then to lose it”

Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable on David Cameron and his decision

to hold a Brexit referendum. “My dog could have won a better deal than those forelock-tugging drones we sent out to battle Brussels”
