I have only ever borrowed money for investment. I have been sound money all my life.

I was a weedy kid, not like one of those working-class men who can accommodate not being academically clever by physical strength and prowess.

I have met the people who run the world, and I am not in awe of them.

I am not against Israel, I am against Zionists.

If I was courting the Muslim vote, I wouldn't have put establishing the partnership ceremony at the forefront of my first term, would I? I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.

The market is a brilliant system for the exchange of goods and services, but it doesn't protect the environment unless it's regulated, it doesn't train your workforce unless it's regulated, and it doesn't give you the long-term investment you want.

I don't just denounce suicide bombers. I denounce those governments which use indiscriminate slaughter to advance their foreign policy.
