Boris Johnson

I'm not a man who holds grudges.

I believe in common sense and practicality.

I'm a very energetic person.

I'm not a fan of political correctness.

I believe in the power of education.

I'm a very competitive person.

I think it's important to have a vision for the future.

My friends, I like buses. I like them so much I want to have a bus in every pot.

I cannot stress too much that Britain is part of Europe, and always will be.

I would rather be dead in a ditch than delay Brexit.

I'm going to get Brexit done. Come what may. Do or die.

I'm a one-man melting pot. A walking, talking, living, breathing example of multiculturalism.

I'm not going to hide under a duck house.

I'm a deeply liberal Conservative.

I'm not a racist. Some of my best friends are black.

I'm not going to pretend that I'm some sort of perfect, smooth, frictionless machine.

I was asked to speak at a conference of the Conservative Christian Fellowship. I don't know what they were doing there, but they were there. And I was asked to speak to them about the importance of family. And I said, 'Well, you know, the problem with the family is that it's a bit like a banana, it's got to be peeled before you can eat it.' And they all looked at me as if I'd gone mad. And I thought, 'Oh dear, this is not going down well.'

The best way to unite the country would be to give us all a big punch in the face.

I think it is a quite extraordinary thing that we are still, as it were, obsessing about the European Union. We should be celebrating the fact that we have left it.

I don't believe in collective guilt. I don't believe in collective punishment. I don't believe in collective anything. I believe in individual responsibility.
