I don’t respond in any way to personal abuse that is thrown at me.

Let’s not turn this into blaming people who travel, work and migrate around Europe, let’s instead ensure governments respond to the needs of all communities and that unscrupulous employers that are grossly exploiting migrant workers and trying to limit their rights need to be dealt with.

Letting agencies are unregulated. They charge a search fee, which in some cases can run into several hundred pounds, but the search consists of no more than checking through a computer database to see whether they have any properties for that person.

Of course we as Labour Party members must all be free to criticise and oppose injustice and abuse wherever we find it. But as today’s Report recommends, can we please leave Hitler and Nazi metaphors alone (especially in the context of Israel). Why? Because the Shoah is still in people’s family experience.

I would have set out very quickly the relationship with Europe.

[on Donald Trump] seems determined to add to the dangers [in the global situation] by recklessly escalating the confrontation with North Korea, unilaterally launching missile strikes on Syria, opposing President Obama’s nuclear arms deal with Iran and backing a new nuclear arms race.

I don’t mind what Congress does, as long as they don’t do it in the streets and frighten the horses.

The Jews are not a nation!

I myself know some people who are gay. We’re on friendly terms. I’m not prejudiced in any way.

If we do not believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we do not believe in it at all.

I addressed directly with President Putin the issue of Russian interference in our elections. I felt this was a message best delivered in person. Spent a great deal of time talking about it. And President Putin may very well want to address it, and very strongly, because he feels very strongly about it, and he has an interesting idea.

In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued – they may be essential to survival.

The intellectual tradition is one of servility to power, and if I didn’t betray it I’d be ashamed of myself.

I’m eternally grateful to fate and the citizens of Russia that they’ve trusted me to be the head of the Russian government.

Africa’s mineral wealth is great; we should co-operate in its development.

The devastating punch we took on September 11th still reverberates throughout American society.

There are still independent newspapers and magazines, they do exist. But as for television, the situation is not as good. It’s one of the main problems. I would say, as regards the development of democracy, of democracy laying down roots – that is something that Russia still needs to address.

We must understand that governments cannot create real jobs. Only entrepreneurs can do that.

As a marketing society, the US is to an unusual degree based on propaganda. The public relations industry, which is a huge industry, is a US-invented industry which spends billions of dollars on what they call ‘controlling the public mind’.

Lebanon was under Israeli occupation, up to its capital, but we did not consider that a disaster. Why? Because it was very clear that there are ways to resist.

It is necessary to suppress any extremist actions, on all sides, regardless of their origin.
