“I think we should talk about what the objectives of the party are, whether that's restoring the Clause Four as it was originally written or it's a different one, but I think we shouldn't shy away from public participation, public investment in industry, and public control of the railways.”

“Some colleagues have said they would not be very keen on working with me, but I am sure these things were said in the heat of the moment.”

“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.”

“We oppose the benefit cap. We oppose social cleansing. We will bring the welfare bill down by controlling rents and boosting wages, not by impoverishing families and socially cleansing our communities.”

“We are developing a media policy which would be about breaking up single ownership of too many sources of information so that we have a multiplicity of sources.”

“We can create a new kind of politics: kinder, more respectful, but courageous, too.”

“I've been proud to be the chair of the Stop the War coalition, proud to be associated with the Stop the War coalition.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Life is life. Some of the wisest people you meet are sweeping our streets.”

“What I find appalling is the intrusive nature towards my extended family.”

“I think there's good in everybody.”

“Everybody aspires to an affordable home, a secure job, better living standards, reliable healthcare and a decent pension. My generation took those things for granted, and so should future generations.”

“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.”

“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.”
