In 1904, 20 per cent of journeys were made by bicycle in London. I want to see a figure like that again. If you can't turn the clock back to 1904, what's the point of being a Conservative?
Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson
Some people think that it [Brexit] is the end of the world. It's not. On the contrary, it's a massive opportunity for this country.
Boris Johnson
I am hoping very much to get re-elected but it is going to be a tough fight.
Boris Johnson
I cant remember what my line on drugs is. Whats my line on drugs?
Boris Johnson
The crucial thing is to look in an informed way at what's going on. Look at the way in which we are forced by our imbalanced system to push away people who might contribute mightily to the NHS.
Boris Johnson
My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters.
Boris Johnson
Since January 1993 there have been 27 other countries not in the EU that have done better than the UK at exporting goods into the single market.
Boris Johnson
