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

If you want a more productive economy, you need to invest in the skills of our workforce.

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.

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.

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.

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

I understand the principles of dissent in parliament.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sure, I've met with people I don't agree with.

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.

Basically, on the question of Europe, I want to see a social Europe, a cohesive Europe, a coherent Europe, not a free market Europe.

I've been quite involved in a lot of U.N. operations over the years. I was a U.N. observer at the East Timor referendum in 2000. I've been very involved in that for a long time.

I'm very proud of the fact that I voted against the Iraq war. And proud that I voted strongly not for students to be saddled with thousands and thousands of pounds worth of debt.

I'm not somebody with over-weening ambition.

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

A lot of people didn't feel attracted to Labour, so they voted in desperation for other things.

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.

We're not going back anywhere, we're going forward, we're going forward in democracy, we're going forward in participation, we're going forward with ideas.

My view is the questions in Parliament should be the questions that people out there want asked.

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.

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.

You can't sustain a high level of intense activity with thousands of people forever. It has to be for a specific objective.

There are some people who have had no pay rises for a very long time, and, working in highly skilled and highly responsible roles and in the health services and education, they deserve to be properly remunerated.

I have always worked long hours and very hard. It is the way I am. Same as always. Up about seven and get to bed about 12 to 1, something like that.

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

I haven't had vast amounts of ministerial experience - in fact, none at all. But I do have a lot of experience of people.

I'm quite concerned that if I spend time in the office, someone will always find something for you to do. There's always a crisis that needs your urgent attention.

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

Parliament is supposed to be serious. It's not a place for jingoistic cheering.

I am a proud trade unionist.

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

Like a majority of the population and a majority of even Tory voters, I want the railways back in public ownership.

Russia has gone way beyond its legal powers to use bases in the Crimea.

Trade unions are a force for good - a force for a more equal society.

If the leadership can't win a debate, then we should show true leadership and implement the democratic will of our party.

A national investment bank can invest to provide us with the foundations of shared and ecologically sustainable growth: renewing the U.K.'s energy, digital and transport infrastructure which lags woefully behind other major economies.

Local authorities face huge housing issues with demands outstripping supply many times over; the only way those in housing need can be housed is in the private sector.

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.

Lopez Obrador invokes the appeal of national unity, the revolution of 1910, and the progressive constitution of 1917.
