Jeremy Corbyn

“I think we can spend too much time worrying about polls.”

“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.”

“It is the right of a democratically elected parliament to act in defence of our traditional liberties, and everything should be done to keep it that way.”

“I want to see a more collective style in how our party operates, in politics as a whole.”

“Cycling is good for people in all ways: their health, their well-being, and it does no damage to the environment. It can, however, be dangerous, and this has to be addressed.”

“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.”

“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've got lots of stamina; don't worry about that. I cycle every day - it's OK.”

“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.”

“We are one of the richest countries in the world, and there is absolutely no reason why anyone should have to live in poverty.”

“A more productive economy in the long term will bring us higher tax revenues, but that requires long-term investment in infrastructure and the skills necessary to grow a balanced economy.”

“I believe in public ownership, but I have never favoured the remote nationalised model of the postwar era.”

“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.”

“The Parliamentary Labour Party is a crucial and very important part of the Labour party, but it is not the entirety of the Labour Party.”

“I'm interested in the idea that we have a more inclusive, clearer set of objectives. I would want us to have a set of objectives which does include public ownership of some necessary things such as rail.”

“I am just an ordinary person trying to do an ordinary job.”

“It is time we recognised the huge contribution that migration has made to the economic growth of this country.”

“I do think the public want to see politicians acting in a different way. What's brought young people into our campaign is that they were written off by political parties but they had never written off politics, and what we have is a huge number of young people, very enthusiastic and brimming with ideas. Those ideas have got to be heard.”

“Diversity in media is something that is intrinsic to a democratic society. We do not want the whole media owned by one person.”

“I find if you are in an office, the crisis finds you. If you're not in the office, the crisis finds somebody else.”
