The Ryanair boss was on good form in London yesterday - and wasn't shy from an opinion or three...

ON HIS COMPETITION... We are the UK's most reliable airline [and] that is not setting the bar very high, as we are competing with BA and Easyjet.

ON HIS REPUTATION We were never pirates, we were always the good guys ON HIS FUTURE I have no thoughts on retirement, I have three teenage children, [no] four teenage children.

ON THE GOVERNMENT Personally, I would get rid of people like Priti Patel, who certainly is not capable of controlling anybody's border [while] Grant Shapps will be no loss in the transport sector.
