The Remain campaign... I've never seen a more miserable offering. All they are saying is stay in and we'll do our best to make sure that Britain's Parliamentary independence isn't eroded faster than we can possibly imagine.Collection: Independence
Huge numbers of people in London depend on their cars. Fuel duty is becoming a big factor in people's cost of living. I believe in trying to ease these burdens.Collection: Car
The idea that the EU is somehow the guarantor of peace on the continent - that is in itself rash, in my view, and risks undermining the vital role of Nato.Collection: Peace
I'm in politics to change things - if possible, for the better. I was a journalist for a long time, but I had a kind of midlife crisis, and I decided I needed to do something to get on the pitch and stop endlessly kicking over other peoples' sandcastles.Collection: Politics
My policy on cake is pro having it and pro eating it.Collection: Birthday
I just find it absolutely bizarre that we are being lectured by the Americans about giving up our sovereignty and giving up control when the Americans won't even sign up to the international convention on the law of the seas, let alone the International Criminal Court.Collection: Alone
We were told by President Obama that in respect of international trade, we would have to get to the back of the queue - not a position that America normally requires the United Kingdom to be in when it comes to other matters, such as the Iraq War.Collection: War
The beauty and riddle in studying the motives of any politician is in trying to decide what is idealism and what is self-interest, and often we are left to conclude that the answer is a mixture of the two.Collection: Beauty
But if people want to swim in the Thames, if they want to take their lives into their own hands, then they should be able to do so with all the freedom and exhilaration of our woad-painted ancestors.Collection: Freedom
If we vote to Leave and take back control, all sorts of opportunities open up. Including doing new free trade deals around the world, restoring Britain's seat on all sorts of international bodies, restoring health to our democracy and belief to our democracy.Collection: Health
I think I'm basically a liberal Conservative - I believe in low tax, spirit of free enterprise, and in making sure that we as politicians create the framework for business to produce the dosh that we're going to need to pay for the poorest. And the longer I live, the more I think that we all have a duty to each other.Collection: Business
It would be a sad day if we British stopped being cynical, but you sometimes wonder whether we overdo it.Collection: Sad
One thing you have got to do politically is to identify the ties that bind society together and try to strengthen them.Collection: Society
The Italians, who used to be a great motor-manufacturing power, have been absolutely destroyed by the euro - as was intended by the Germans.Collection: Power
The dreadful truth is that when people come to see their MP they have run out of better ideas.Collection: Truth
I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis.Collection: Chance
It is easy to make promises - it is hard work to keep them.Collection: Work
Ping-pong was invented on the dining tables of England in the 19th century, and it was called Wiff-waff! And there, I think, you have the difference between us and the rest of the world. Other nations, the French, looked at a dining table and saw an opportunity to have dinner; we looked at it an saw an opportunity to play Wiff-waff.
I want London to be the most cycle-friendly city on Earth, and I want more people to be happy and safe on bicycles.
There is absolutely no one, apart from yourself, who can prevent you, in the middle of the night, from sneaking down to tidy up the edges of that hunk of cheese at the back of the fridge.
My speaking style was criticised by no less an authority than Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was a low moment, my friends, to have my rhetorical skills denounced by a monosyllabic Austrian cyborg.
My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters.
We cannot turn our backs on Europe. We are part of Europe.
Sometimes I can think of so many ways of expressing myself that I feel I'm an old typewriter, and too many keys come forward at once - and I get jammed.
My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.
I believe in immigration. But I feel people think it would be better if there was an Australian-style points based system so we could actually get a good system.
If we judged everybody by the stupid, unguarded things they blurt out to their nearest and dearest, then we wouldn't ever get anywhere.
The truth is that the history of the last couple of thousand years has been broadly repeated attempts by various people or institutions - in a Freudian way - to rediscover the lost childhood of Europe, this golden age of peace and prosperity under the Romans, by trying to unify it.
I'm a one-nation Tory.
I've got more in common with a three-toed sloth than I have with Winston Churchill. There is no easy comparison with any modern politician. The more you read about him, the more completely amazed you are about what he did - his energy, his literary fecundity, his ability to work - just unbelievable energy.
I'm not one of those people who believes in going endlessly around finger wagging and ticking people off for occasional colourful use of language.
The Lib Dems are not just empty. They are a void within a vacuum surrounded by a vast inanition.
I am supporting David Cameron purely out of cynical self-interest.
I suppose with houses and assets, then I guess I would be a millionaire. But so are a lot of people.
I lead a life of blameless domesticity and always have done.
Never in my life did I think I would be congratulated by Mick Jagger for achieving anything.
The job of mayor of London is unbelievably taxing, particularly in the run-up to the Olympics.
I have more in common with a three-toed sloth or a one-eyed pterodactyl or a Kalamata olive than I have with Winston Churchill.
There's an idea that London is a planet on its own: that it's starting to diverge from the rest of the solar system. We need to combat that.
I've always sort of thought that politics was a high and noble calling and a good thing to do.
I promised to run the most open and transparent administration in Britain. That is why, with this brutally honest and unprecedented progress report, I am determined to level with Londoners.
I used to get very, very frustrated by people being told what to do by nanny in Brussels. And I remember once I rang the official who was actually responsible for banning the prawn-cocktail-flavoured crisp, which I think contained a dye called Arithrazine or something like that.
That is the best case for Bush; that, among other things, he liberated Iraq. It is good enough for me.
Times have been tough, the economy has been tough. But I want to bring forward a fantastic manifesto for taking the city forwards.
It is possible to have a pretty good life and career being a leech and a parasite in the media world, gadding about from TV studio to TV studio, writing inconsequential pieces and having a good time.
We can find our voice in the world again: a voice that is commensurate with the fifth-biggest economy on Earth.
When lorry drivers come up behind me and I'm cycling, innocently keeping to my side of the road, and they decide because they are so big, and their lorry is so powerful, and they just want to clear me out of the road, and they hoot aggressively, then I do see red a bit. I do.
We are experiencing such large support for the Olympic relay that our advice is to stay in your neighbourhood, stay in your borough and wait for it to come near you.
London is the most commercially important city in Europe, and it's the most populous city. It should be for the whole of the European continent what New York is to America. That's what it should be.
I think the risks that people see of terrorism are incredibly important but we are very confident we have got the right people on it and the risks have been minimised.
