“Work hard, I'll give you the help in hand you can be anything and I love the way you do it with ease and make people feel if I can do it you can do it and that's that's that's an art because you don't say it like It's easy. I did it. If I can do it, you can do it, but you've got to work hard”

“Their work ethic, and what worries me is somehow somebody's told young people you can get rich quick. There's a shortcut to being the mayor or running the law firm or being a successful entrepreneur or being a pop star. You ever listen to what Ed Sharon did before they became successful or Adell or Stormsy, that work ethic. And I meant what I said about you because listen, obviously, there aren't many people in your positions who look like you, let's be frank, who dress like you, who talk like you, who've got your backstory. Now, you've never asked of your role model, right? You'll never meet people who look up to you. But it's a fact, right? And so I'm not going to say, I'm the mayor, right? My job is to, you know, do this thing, what I call the London Promise.”

“Nobody's going to porn you hear that. And this is one of the one things I've tried to do is rather than it's very easy and you're very generous in your comments about me and my faith and my background. To be the only person in my position who looks like me, I get this, you know, there's only one of me, right? What's far more, and the same goes for you, but what you do, which is I've tried to do as well in different ways, is put down ladders for others, right? Because there shouldn't just be one guy like you. There should be many others like you. And the same goes in politics as well, and I meant what I said, because the interesting thing about you, and the same implies to you, is you guys watch what Idris Elba does or Rizalmed or these other guys.”

“Enjoy the experience Because often, I don't know if you get to do it, you're so busy you don't get to enjoy it. When you speak to people who have talked teasingly about being an ex-politician, they follow the memory. They didn't enjoy the experience. And I remember famous footballer Gary Neville being interviewed and saying he didn't really enjoy it. I find that odd. You're not enjoying the experience. And so I enjoy the experience. And actually, When you're ambitious, you're always trying to do the next thing, right? I think ambition is important to have a grasp greater than your reach. In the meantime, enjoy the experience”

Perception is our city isn't safe on address the reality in the perception. A greener city, we've got to reduce carbon emissions. I was the first global city to declare a climate emergency.

“Michael is much more so. My target is 50,000, but we're not going to get there. And I've said to the government, we need more support. And it's actually there's an opportunity if there's a recession coming because of the way the counter-cyclical nature of the property market. We can have more home buildings actually, and that creates jobs and people paying taxes and so forth. Look at what we've done in public transport. My first five years, we froze fares. The night tube up and running. You know, we've got buses going all across London now, more buses, too many more kilometres to buses next year for the Elizabeth Line, the Northern Line extension, Barkon Riverside extension. Look at what we talked about in relation to mentors. 100,000 young people have a mentor, made progress from reducing crime, invested in young people.”

“The obvious example to think of when I was walking here from the tube station, I saw the ultralow mission street that Hackney have done really, really well. So we've managed to, so you don't see this stuff. None of us sees this stuff. But if we were growing up in London in the 50s, you'd see the smog, right? Because the power stations, you could see it. You just couldn't walk because of the smog more than more than a method. It was a killer as well. So we can't see the nitrogen dioxide, the nitrogen oxide, the particular matter certainly that carbon emissions, but at least more than 4,000 premature deaths a year. It leads to children having stunted lungs, at least to adults with a whole host of health issues, me included asthma, premature heart disease, deaths, cancer, and so forth. We've managed to, in two years, reduce the toxic care in the centerized city by half, and we're improving it more across our city. Air quality is obviously a big one.

“No, no, the poster was a queue of Syrians giving the impression that they're going to flood our country because of the Turkey allegedly joining the European Union. And emotionally that played to people's concerns around immigration. I mean, Brexit was a proxy of immigration, right?

“We see where it's got a country. Where has emotion got our country? And so I think actually one of the failures of politicians, and I also plead guilty, is we've lost the art to be good teachers, right? Political education is lacking in our country. And so I think a good politician should use his or her role in an unpatronizing way to educate people. You know, you ask me really good questions about crime, right? Now, these things say, you know, just lock them up, let's arrest ourselves out of this, right? That placed your emotion because you want the people who burgled your home. Be arrested Put in prison and the key's thrown away right. Probably I'm just throwing right. But actually, it's my job to, in a non-patronised way, try and educate you without excuse the criminality, but saying it's a bit more complex than that, right? Yeah.”

We can't rely upon the mainstream media, you know, 8% of the mainstream media is supportive of the Conservative Party, right? It's just a fact. So we've got to be an effective opposition in calling them out and hold them to account, right? Including stuff that would otherwise not be seen. So call them out in relation to their policies on the economy, call them out in the policy relation to health service, call them out relationship to policies and education.

“But here's your confrontation, though, Steven. And it's a good conundrum to have. Which the next general election probably one of two people are going to be Prime Minister. Lesson goes the way of Liz Truss and Boris Johnson, right? And so politics isn't perfection, it's relativism. And so you've got to choose between one of these two. There's nobody else. This is not Keir Starmer or perfection.”

“No, no, no. Listen, but my point is. There's two points to that. One is, I say this with respect and love, advice I give to Kiad giving private, not in public right, the first thing. And secondly, there's a general election in 20 months' time. And, you know, my point about I'm still in the game is I want to make sure that privately the views I've got about what Leb is getting wrong are sorted out before the general election rather than telegraphing to the opposition things were getting wrong so they can you know using the boxing metaphor try and knock Kirst Armmer out.”

“You got a peek at the right time. The general election might not be until twenty months away. So if Rachel Reeves, our shadow chancellor, came up with a policy on the budget. Will the economy in twenty months time is going to be very different from the economy now? How can she honestly be asked to give a tax and spend policy now? Well, Key Starmer announces a great policy, the winful levy on energy companies. Sunak Nixit, dilutes it a bit, so soon it gets the credit not Kir, your best policy being stunned. So the point is you've got to peak at the right time and the peroration has got to come in the weeks before.”

“I think we get lots of things right to be fair. Come on, isn't it? I think, you know, when I think about the last two, three years since Kir became leader, we've got a lot of things right. I think the frustration voters have, which I think is not fair, is we're not put enough flesh in the detail, right? And there's a reason for that, I explained. So the answer to your question, direct answer is we're not giving enough retail policy, enough reasons to vote labour. Yes, time for change is effective, but people would say, what labour is getting wrong is not giving details of policy. My response is, hold on a sec.”

“You can really own talk about transport because if I have a view about health, it'll annoy the health secretary. Or if I've got a view about foreign policy or health, it'll upset the foreign secretary, right? Or the budget. And so you've got to stay in your lane, which is a frustration because you've got to stand by the policies they've got in the other areas, right? So you've got to be inauthentic. But also this thing called collect responsibility. So inside the cabinet, what happens is if there's a good strong Prime Minister, there'll be an argument and discussion inside cabinet about policy. You can have a different view. You can be honest then. But once you reach a view, when you leave the cabinet, all of you have got to defend that view and be advocates of the view. And that's why you're spot on. And it reminds me of being a lawyer. I've got to say hound on heart. There were cases I had where I didn't agree with the brief or like it, but I had to argue the case. I was a lawyer, right? And the same goes when you were an MP. The difference when you're the mayor”

So I think politics, you know, the reason why I said about, you know, I'm still in the game is because it's a good metaphor, because I learn a lot from sports because I love sports and stuff. And a lot of leadership skills I get from sports. Let me tell you why you're both right and wrong in relation to your observation, which I think is right and it's wrong.

“And I worry, have London has been let down because the government see me as an enemy, not giving London the support they would give if somebody else was the mayor. And so I've tempered since I won re-election, I've tempered some of that because I realise I can't allow my natural adversarial nature and my dislike of the government to get in the way of doing business with the government. So that's the honest answer. But by the way, I meant what I said about this when you said tongue-in-cheek, well, can you not be honest? Yeah, because I'm still in the game, right? So when you ask an ex-politician questions like that, they'll give you a candid answer, but you can't ask Tyson Fura Tyson, what's the weakness in your game? You wouldn't do that.

Our staff are traumatized, upset, all the rest of it. So we now got to support our staff in ways never done before. That worries me. They impact on my staff reading this stuff, the emails, reading letters that come in, the impact on my staff reading the social media, the meta-minister of my family reading this stuff. I'm not going to allow anybody to change my behavior. I will not cower.”

“It became about faith and the Islamophobia stuff. And there is still a great sense of solidarity in relation to people still defend me who aren't Muslims and stuff, right? What it does is a number of things. Firstly, if you're a mom or dad and your Muslim and your son or daughter's thinking about Korean politics or public life, you say, you know what? Some alike city can't get in that sort of stuff. I don't really want you to get involved in politics. And this happens a lot, if you're somebody who wants to amplify my social media or be supportive. You do it, and then you get this diet of hate because you've done that. There's two responses. Nine out of 10 people say, I had no idea that you received that stuff. How can I help? One out of ten people will say, This is a bit too much, you know. I'm not going to actually.”

“9 11 was traumatic for a variety of reasons. Thousands of people lost their lives. It was just awful. What it did, though, was it gave permission of people to treat all of us in a way that I had not experienced before. So when I was growing up, The P word, the N word, the W word. Was sometimes used and you know White friends, black friends, and me knew we see the Red Mist and they'd be fine, right? It was never about faith. I'm not saying one is better than the other and stuff, right? But something happened.”

“A couple of times, yeah, there was an occasion where there have been a number of occasions. I don't want to give them the credit by making them know that I was scared and worried about my safety because they will think they can do it again. But yeah, there have been occasions, even with police protection. My proximity are brilliant. But I've asked them to just keep a distance because I don't want them to be next to me like I'm a celebrity or the prime minister. I like the fact that I'm a normal Joe and I try and be as much as I can. But there have been times, yeah, of course there have. As mayor, but there have been times I've been more of a security before I was mayor, you know, and that”

“Two reasons because if I'm out with my family, their personal safety has been compromised, right? I can't have that. If I'm out with my staff working, their personal safety is being compromised and I'm not willing to take that risk either. And so, you know, there'd be specific threats. But the problem with police protection is it means you lose your spontaneity. So I came here by tube. I'm not, you know, the police officers on the tube with me, right? You wouldn't know they were there, you know, and so forth. But they've got to be with me when I go to a restaurant, when I go to the cinema, and I'm walking my dog when I'm going the tube, right? It restricts my ability to just”

“Yeah, it's been a few times. Yeah. Yeah. And that's one of the reasons why unearthed please protection. Not because I asked for it. For a year I said no. And in the end. My wife and my chief of staff said you've got to take”

You know, and we know for reasons that, you know, aren't fair to Muslims, the vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast majority who live in the West love the West, law abiding and so forth.

“We're living in a climate of Islamophobia has challenges as well. It's not a secret, so I'm not divulging any breaches of national security. The Christchurch shooter in New Zealand referenced me in his diatribe, the Finsbury Park terrorist, referenced me in his terrorist attack in Finsbury Park outside the mosque. I'm not giving equivalents to Donald Trump in relation to terrorists, but Donald Trump for a period of time was obsessed with me. And so that leads to, you go to social media, some of the stuff that I get on social media, right? You go to some of the far right groups, some of the stuff I receive there. Some of the, you know, In Virtual Commons mainstream journalists who use me as clickbait, they know if they use my name, it's going to track traffic to their social media channel. They know that.”
