I'm in exactly the same position as everybody else who has a small business.

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

I grew up in Lambeth, I went to normal schools and I've grown up in a city where people say what they think.

I think democracy's undermined when those who own newspapers fill them with trivia rather than real issues.

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

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.

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.
