“People said to me I was taking a risk by saying I would step down if I was fined. But it was never about that. For me, it was a matter of principle.” - Sir Keir Starmer after a Durham police investigat­ion found he did not break Covid regulation­s. “Someone has to grip this moment and make the right decisions. That’s why I’m standing to be the next leader of the Conservati­ve Party and your prime minister.” - Rishi Sunak throws his hat into the ring.

“I love that put-Britain-first attitude he has. And in every interview I’ve ever seen him do, he has been on the floor with his humour. And I think he’s just genuinely a nice person.” - Former Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten backs Jacob ReesMogg to be the next prime minister.

“Even if my leg is being pulled I am honoured by this exceptiona­lly kind endorsemen­t by Mr Lydon, alias Johnny Rotten.” - Jacob Rees-Mogg responds.

“We will deliver more trust, less crime and high standards for London and beyond and we will work with London’s diverse communitie­s as we together renew the uniquely British invention of policing by consent.”

- Sir Mark Rowley after being named the next commission­er of the Metropolit­an Police. “Incredibly sad news about Shinzo Abe. His global leadership through unchartere­d times will be remembered by many. My thoughts are with his family, friends and the Japanese people. The UK stands with you at this dark and sad time.” - Boris Johnson after the former Japanese prime minister was shot during a campaign speech and later died in hospital.
