Boris Johnson
I have not been more robust towards female rather than male assembly members and I do not believe I have been remotely sexist.
Boris Johnson
When Cameron's Conservatives come to power it will be a golden age for cyclists and an Elysium of cycle lanes, bike racks, and sharia law for bike thieves. And I hope that cycling in London will become almost Chinese in its ubiquity.
Boris Johnson
The next Tory leader would have to unify his party and ensure that Britain stood tall in the world.
Boris Johnson
Humanity would have plunged into a new dark age of absolutely frightening and appalling characteristics without Churchill.
Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson
I want to offer particular congratulations to Andrea Leadsom on her stunning achievement. She is now well placed to win and replace the absurd gloom in some quarters with a positive, confident and optimistic approach, not just to Europe, but to government all round.
Boris Johnson
