QUOTES OF THE DAY

“We don’t want to see children going hungry this winter, this Christmas, certainly not as a result of any inattention by this Government – and you are not going to see that”

- Boris Johnson, above, hints at extra support to tackle holiday hunger over winter and the Christmas break.

“Warm words from Boris Johnson will do nothing for the over 1.4 million children at risk of going hungry this half-term that he and his MPs refused to help last week. Labour will not give up on the children and families let down by this Government and we will hold the Prime Minister to his word, forcing another vote in Parliament if necessary”

- Shadow Education Secretary Kate Green says the Prime Minister must make children “a national priority”.

“Unconscious bias, from my understanding, having the upbringing and the education that I had, I had no idea what it was. I had no idea it existed. And then, sad as it is to say, it took me many, many years to realise it, especially then living a day or a week in my wife’s shoes”

- The Duke of Sussex.

“Dad has got a twinkle in his eye again, a skip in his step, because of the fact that his music is resonating with people, and people are touched and moved by his story. It makes him happy, it has given him a new lease of life and it is such a wonderful thing to behold”

- Nick Harvey on the reaction to his father, Paul Harvey, an 80-year-old former music teacher with dementia who will release a single he recorded with the BBC Philharmonic orchestra originally improvised from just four notes.
