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

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.

If transport, housing and Olympic projects do not work, I will crawl away under a stone.

If women had never been given the right to vote, then Labour would have won every election after the war.

I grew up in a house with very few books.

The truth is, no one pays more tax than they have to.

Ed Miliband doesn't give a damn about what he looks like, how he dresses. He came into politics to change society.
