“Science shows the early years are more pivotal for future health and happiness, than any other period... The early years are therefore not simply just about how we raise our children. They are in fact about how we raise the next generation of adults. They are about the society we will become” - The Duchess of Cambridge delivers a passionate speech calling for early years developmen­t to be viewed on the same level as “other great social challenges and opportunit­ies of our time”. “Some people are asking me why we are still talking. My answer is that it’s my job to do my utmost to see if the conditions for a deal exist. It is late, but a deal is still possible, and I will continue to talk until it’s clear that it isn’t” - Lord Frost, Boris Johnson’s Europe adviser, insists a Brexit deal is still possible as face-to-face negotiatio­ns are set to resume.

“Space is very black and one day I was looking out and there were three lights moving in formation and then there was a fourth. We were perplexed, until we realised that what we thought were the far away lights of alien spaceships were actually small droplets, liquid leaking out of a Russian probe vehicle, crystallis­ing and reflecting light. What we were seeing was Russian urine” - Astronaut Tim Peake recalls the moment he thought he had seen UFOs while in space.

“If you did it any other way, you’d divide the country up into very complicate­d sub-divisions – there has got to be some simplicity and clarity in the way we do this. And we’ve found that when a high incidence area is close to a low incidence area, the low incidence area starts to catch up” - Boris Johnson defends the UK Government’s tier system.
