I still have the Triumph Palm Beach I was given for Christmas when I was 11. By today's standards, it is heavy and slow, but was my pride and joy at the time.Collection: Christmas
Riding a bicycle is the summit of human endeavour - an almost neutral environmental effect coupled with the ability to travel substantial distances without disturbing anybody. The bike is the perfect marriage of technology and human energy.Collection: Marriage
Russia has gone way beyond its legal powers to use bases in the Crimea.Collection: Legal
I do not own a car, and my main form of travel to Westminster and in my constituency is by bicycle. I also take my bike on trains to meetings in other parts of the country, which enables me to see other cities and the other parts of the country.Collection: Car
What I remain opposed to is the idea that David Cameron could go around and give up workers' rights, give up environmental protection, give up a whole load of things that are very important.Collection: Environmental
I think NATO is a Cold War product. I think NATO historically should have shut up shop in 1990 along with the Warsaw Pact; unfortunately, it didn't.Collection: War
The Zocalo is a magnificent space, at least four times the size of Trafalagar Square, with the National Palace on one side, the huge cathedral on the other, and in one corner part of the old Aztec City so brutally destroyed by Hernan Cortez and the Conquistadores.Collection: Space
I'm a leader, not a dictator. I want to persuade people rather than threaten or control them.
You grow your way to prosperity; you don't cut your way to it.
We are not doing celebrity, personality, abusive politics - we are doing ideas. This is about hope.
Life is life. Some of the wisest people you meet are sweeping our streets.
We can create a new kind of politics: kinder, more respectful, but courageous, too.
What I find appalling is the intrusive nature towards my extended family.
There is a democratic process in the party, and that can be operated at any time. But am I going to resign? No. Of course not. No. No. I will carry on.
I want a world of peace. I'm not interested in bombs. I'm not interested in wars. I'm interested in peace.
We are one of the richest countries in the world, and there is absolutely no reason why anyone should have to live in poverty.
Inequality is a terrible waste of time, a waste of people's resources.
You pay more in wages, get more in in tax, you get people living a higher standard, you get more money. It's a kind of circle.
It is time we recognised the huge contribution that migration has made to the economic growth of this country.
I find if you are in an office, the crisis finds you. If you're not in the office, the crisis finds somebody else.
The Spanish Civil War, Britain was not involved in it. Going back a bit, there was the naval blockade to stop the slave trade in the 19th century; that was morally just. Shame they didn't bother to abolish slavery at the same time.
I have already said and will continue to say that I won't respond to personal abuse, and I never make any personal abuse, ever, to anybody. I just don't do that kind of politics.
I understand the principles of dissent in parliament.
In my own constituency, the benefit cap has had the effect of social cleansing: of people receiving benefit, but the benefit is capped; therefore, they can't meet the rent levels charged and are forced to move. It's devastating for children, devastating for the family and very bad for the community as a whole.
We've got to stand up for what we believe in as a labour movement. And that means the party's membership needs to be even bigger so it becomes a genuinely mass organisation.
Politically active people felt more and more disenfranchised, particularly during the ultra-New Labour years.
We live in a very unequal society.
I'm not joining in personal attacks... I don't do personal attacks.
Mum and Dad met campaigning on the Spanish civil war. Both were active peace campaigners. They died in 1986 and '87.
There is not going to be a peace process unless there is talks involving Israel, Hezbollah and Hamas, and I think everyone knows that.
We are all in the Labour party because we want the Labour party to be a vehicle for social change. There is a thirst for debate in the party, and all those who have joined haven't joined without a purpose.
If there is 'right to buy' for council tenants and housing association properties, then why shouldn't that apply to all tenants? Some landlords are decent, very caring people, but some of them are truly appalling.
Diversity in media is something that is intrinsic to a democratic society. We do not want the whole media owned by one person.
I've been in Parliament since 1983, and I've been involved in many issues over the time.
Tony Benn and I were very close, very close friends for 30, 40 years. We talked to each other a great deal, and we were great friends. And I was with him shortly before he died, talking about prospects of the world and prospects for peace. And I'm very sad that he's gone.
Taken slightly historically, the turning point in the E.U. was actually the Single European Act, the Thatcher/Maastricht-era stuff, which was turning the E.U. into very much a market system.
Loyalty is about the party and the movement... if you want a better and more effective party, we've got to open ourselves up much more to our membership and our supporters.
I've got lots of stamina; don't worry about that. I cycle every day - it's OK.
I think in English history a very interesting character is John Lilburne. Very interesting character because of the way he managed to develop the whole debate about the English civil war into something very different.
Quite simply, I maintained contact with Sinn Fein and believed that there had to be a political, not a military, solution to the situation in Northern Ireland.
Our problem in the 2015 general election was that for all the good stuff that was in the Labour manifesto, we were still going to be freezing public sector wages, cutting council expenditure, laying off civil servants. We were offering 'austerity light' instead of a real alternative.
Sure, I've met with people I don't agree with.
I am just an ordinary person trying to do an ordinary job.
It is opposition to economic orthodoxy that leads us into austerity and cuts. But it is also a thirst for something more communal, more participative. That, to me, is what is interesting in this process.
NATO expansion and Russian expansion - one leads to the other, and one reflects the other.
I make mistakes like anybody else, I will make mistakes. And you have to reflect on it, and you have to listen to people. That is the key.
I think there's good in everybody.
The idea that somehow or other you can deal with all the problems in the world by banning a particular religious group from entering the U.S.A. is offensive and absurd.
There is nothing wrong with my heart except for wanting a peaceful world.
There is a self interest in voting for a society where there is health care for all, where there's a mental health service for all, where there is education service for all.
