“I don’t see why reaching an agreement with our European colleagues should be so difficult. We ought to just be able to get there in a sensible way. There’s a lot of drama around, which I don’t like” - Sir Jim Ratcliffe, left, said to be the UK’s richest man. “Whatever the uncertaint­ies of Brexit, time and again businesses tell me that their biggest nightmare would be the leader of the opposition and the shadow chancellor in Downing Street” - Business Secretary Greg Clark. “The end is now firmly in sight and, while obstacles remain, it cannot be beyond us to navigate them” - Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab. “To say austerity is ending could be slightly misleading in the sense that we can turn on the taps and spray money around to all the many good causes, which in effect we cannot” - Tory MP Richard Drax. “There’s a politics to my existence in this industry, full stop, but I do think artists have a responsibi­lity that overlaps with politics” - Actor Paapa Essiedu. “When I see on television a presenter becoming emotional or just doing a little too much hugging and crying, I think ‘Allow me to feel, as a viewer, what I think it’s appropriat­e to feel”’ - TV’s Louis Theroux, above, saying it can seem “cheap” for interviewe­rs to express emotion. “No one can use my music unless they ask, and if they ask nicely I might let them. But no politician­s are asking me” - Musician Liam Howlett.
