Who said it
“We’re a wealthy country, it’s 2020. To have a debate about whether we should make sure that hungry and vulnerable children have enough to eat is something that is strikingly similar to something we’d expect to see in chapters of Oliver Twist – a novel published in the 19th century” - Children’s Commissioner Anne Longfield.
“Let’s stay focused on what is most important, which is our children and making sure they get the help that they need” - Marcus Rashford.
“No-one wants to see any child go hungry in this country and that is what I think all parties are trying to achieve” - Jake Berry, Conservative MP for Rossendale and Darwen.
“There is a spaghetti of command and control at the top, which is incapable of coherent analysis, assessment, planning and delivery. The immediate priority is to fill the vacuum of leadership in Test and Trace, which is destroying cooperation and compliance” - Senior Tory backbencher Sir Bernard Jenkin.
“What I do foresee is that with a successful vaccine, and the continuation of some form of public health measures, as we go and progress through the months of 2021, getting towards the third and fourth quarter, we will see a considerable approach towards some form of normality”
- Infectious disease specialist Dr Anthony Fauci.
“And I know I look really, really different since you last saw me but actually, because of all the Covid restrictions and the travel bans, I had to travel light and only bring half of me – and this is the half I chose” - A slim Adele as she hosted Saturday Night Live.
