Who said it

-

“I was deeply saddened to learn that two British nationals and the child of another British national were killed by yesterday’s terror attack, with two more injured. These were innocent people and it is a tragedy that as they sought to bring their loved ones to safety in the UK they were murdered by cowardly terrorists” - Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on the Kabul airport attack.

“It is with deep regret that not everyone has been able to be evacuated during this process”

- Defence Secretary Ben Wallace admits some Afghans could be left behind as Britain’s evacuation effort in Kabul entered its final hours.

“As the last UK flight leaves Kabul, it’s alarmingly clear that our withdrawal from Afghanista­n will go down in history as one of the worst UK foreign policy disasters. With thousands of Afghans who supported us now trapped under the brutal Taliban regime, serious questions need to be answered about why things turned out the way they did” - Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey calls for an inquiry.

“For the moment I do need to stress the vital importance of everyone playing their part in limiting spread of the virus. The more we all do this, the more chance we have of avoiding the need for the reimpositi­on of any formal restrictio­ns” - Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. “He’s such a tremendous human being as well, so let’s see what happens with Cristiano. Everyone who has played with him, I think, has a soft spot for him” Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shortly before the club agreed a deal for Cristiano Ronaldo to return to Old Trafford from Juventus.
