Ken Livingstone

I'm in exactly the same position as everybody else who has a small business.

Politics is not a healthy lifestyle.

Well, I get on with people who believe in something.

Well, I mean, I'm very much a pragmatic person.

Global warming could be solved by shifting three to four per cent of global GDP to pay for it.

Working with the Jewish community is essential to me and what I stand for.

My political beliefs are my moral, quasi-religious framework.

I came into politics because I wished to change things. You can't do that by lying to people; you have to educate, and persuade, and carry them with you - and it's often a long haul.

What do we do about climate change bearing down upon us?

I'm an emotional person; I do occasionally shed a tear.

I spent the 1960s and 1970s seeking myself - the working-class tradition of self-education.

Everyone changes all the time.
