People have to remember that the armed forces do as democratically elected governments tell them to do. They don't arbitrarily go into countries and kick off. These are decisions that are made by our politicians.

Climate change is an existential threat to our economy, and ultimately to civilisation as we know it.

I don't want to manage the labour movement, I want to unleash it.

We can't grow as a party, if we're afraid of having difficult conversations.

The genius of the market is supposed to lie in its ability to allocate society's resources to their most efficient uses without central direction. Labour has long recognised that efficiency doesn't always correspond with what is socially optimal or, in other words, 'fair.'

Unanimous votes are rare in parliament.

Political status does not necessarily depend on nuclear capability.

I'm in favour of more democracy - let the British public decide what the future of the monarchy is and what shape it should be.

While as black people we've paid for our right to be in this country many, many times over, I still can't help but feel we psychologically still see ourselves as outsiders. I believe this is our country. As such we need to embrace it fully.

I'd rather see us as citizens than subjects in the 21st Century.

A leadership competition is not an ideal context for honest reflection. The aim is, after all, to win, not to learn and build.

Many of us mistakenly believe a coup d'etat is the only kind of coup possible. But a coup doesn't always require tanks on a lawn and senior ranking military types appearing on your TV and radio declaring that democracy as you knew it, is now over.

Such is the sense of entitlement of Boris Johnson and his establishment class - they believe they can break the law without the consequences meeting ordinary people.

History is littered with leaders and movements, now long vanished and mostly forgotten, who failed to get to the deep truths of how and why their defeat happened.

I know I have made mistakes, and I am grateful for those who both challenged me and gave me the space to grow.

To describe 'Mutually Assured Destruction' as an 'insurance policy' would be comical if it wasn't such an appalling concept.

I would like the Labour Party to issue a pamphlet to all its members explaining what antisemitism is. The pamphlet could go through each way that antisemitism manifests itself, point by point, explaining what each means.

On everything from climate change to the housing crisis, we need solutions that are credible, bold and radical.
