- Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
“It must, or should, have been obvious to all concerned that he was at high risk of suicide and should have been detained under the Mental Health Act for his own safety. Had this been done, he might still be alive today.” - Singer Will Young questions why his twin was not assessed by a consultant psychiatrist when he was admitted to hospital
after trying to take his own life, just days before his death.
“I expect that the agreement with Boohoo may provide some job opportunities but we regret that this outcome does not safeguard the jobs of Debenhams’ employees beyond the winding-down period.” - Geoff Rowley, joint administrator for Debenhams, after online fashion retailer Boohoo bought the brand and website in a deal that will see the stores close. “This was a very difficult decision for the club, not least because I have an excellent personal relationship with Frank and I have the utmost respect for him. He is a man of great integrity and has the highest of work ethics. However, under current circumstances we believe it is best.” - Chelsea’s owner Roman Abramovich on the sacking of head coach Frank Lampard.
