I want London to be a competitive, dynamic place to come to work.

These days we dimly believe that the Second World War was won with Russian blood and American money; and though that is in some ways true, it is also true that, without Churchill, Hitler would almost certainly have won.

I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis.

I am hoping very much to get re-elected but it is going to be a tough fight.

When Cameron's Conservatives come to power it will be a golden age for cyclists and an Elysium of cycle lanes, bike racks, and sharia law for bike thieves. And I hope that cycling in London will become almost Chinese in its ubiquity.

My speaking style was criticised by no less an authority than Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was a low moment, my friends, to have my rhetorical skills denounced by a monosyllabic Austrian cyborg.

We did everything we could to break down barriers that restrain poorest.
