I have opened newspapers and read incredible lies.

Global warming could be solved by shifting three to four per cent of global GDP to pay for it.

I spent the 1960s and 1970s seeking myself - the working-class tradition of self-education.

I think I have gone through my entire public career never telling a lie. I have made mistakes but I never knowingly lied.

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

If I blew my nose the Daily Express and the Daily Mail would say that I am trying to spread germ warfare.

Give me the whole world to run and then I'll be happy. If tomorrow I was told I had to sort out the whole world's problems I'd sleep like a baby.
