I think to suggest that somehow Muslims aren't welcome in the USA, to suggest somehow that being a Muslim is incompatible with being western, unintentionally plays into the hand of Daesh and so-called Isis.

I am backing Remain for a very simple reason: it is the best way of protecting jobs, wages and rights for working people.

Most employers I speak to, they want to create jobs and give decent salaries. Some small and medium companies say to me they cannot afford to pay the living wage. I say "what about if I gave you a business rate cut?" and they say, yes, ok. We want companies which are skilled up, generating more profit, more corporation tax - we should not be embarrassed at success, as long as they pay their taxes.

Leaving the EU isn't the answer to Britain's problems.

I would use the power of procurement, I would say if you want to do business with the mayor of London, you must pay your staff a London Living Wage.

Britain cannot compete with China or Taiwan on price; we compete on skills, on arts and culture.

I am the only candidate for mayor of London with the experience of being a transport minister.
