THEY SAID WHAT?

“Let’s face it, the Government has run out of steam and at a pivotal moment in our country and the world, amid uncertainty over Brexit, conflict in the Gulf states, nuclear sabre-rattling over North Korea, refugees continuing to flee war and destruction, ongoing pandemics, cross-border terrorism, poverty and inequality, and the impact of climate change are the core global challenges of our time”

– Jeremy Corbyn.

“It is, of course, the diversity of life on Earth which actually enables us to have our being. Deplete it, reduce it, erode and destroy it and we will succeed in causing such disorder that we risk derailing humanity’s place on Earth for good”

– the Prince of Wales.

“My friend told me about Bumble, this dating app, and I was like, ‘I can’t go on that’, because every guy’s going to go, ‘I just want to go on a date so I can say I’ve been with Becky Adlington”’ – Olympic swimming champion

Rebecca Adlington.

“I have to admit I’m a technical dinosaur. When it comes to communication, if I had a choice of email, text or a telephone, every single time I’d like to have a conversation”

– Tory MP Amanda Milling.

“The sex is very discreet. It is not going to win the Bad Sex in Fiction award” – Sir Vince Cable, would-be Liberal Democrat leader, on his new book, Open Arms.

“Failing to win a majority last month was not clever, but pushing the weakened Government over the brink would be unforgivable madness on the part of any Conservative” – Lord (William) Hague, former

Tory leader.
