THEY SAID WHAT?

“The summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media”

“Annoyingly, for the past 50 years, she’s been right about everything”

- Broadcaster and writer Gyles Brandreth on his wife.

“What I always loved about the Beano was that it felt naughty. It was a comic that you should read under the duvet with a torchlight. I don’t think I’d have got into writing my books without Beano”

- Comedian and writer David Walliams, who is to guest edit the

comic to mark its 80th birthday. “A few precious moments spent watching a stunning red admiral or peacock butterfly feeding amongst the flowers in my garden never fails to bring me great pleasure. Spending time with nature offers us all precious breathing space away from the stresses and strains of modern life”

“I’m about to be an unmarried, lesbian mother – so I really fit the Tory mould”
