"I’m having a fantastic 1st day on the job as your new Mayor. I felt very welcomed by all who greeted me this morning." was how the New Mayor of London saluted Londoners on his face day at work at London's City Hall.
The Mayor, more like himself with his trademark boyish smile, travelled by public transport, riding on the bus and the tube. He was greeted by his staff and many well-wishers on arrival.
He met his staff for a formal introduction and restated his determination to be a Mayor for all Londoners. He said: "I later met staff and Commissioners at City Hall. Together we’ll do a great job. I'll be a Mayor for all Londoners."
As he prepared to set our his vision, he announced the appointment of Joanne McCartney as his Statutory Deputy Mayor, tweeting: "I’m delighted to announce Joanne McCartney will be my Statutory Deputy Mayor. I know she’ll do a fantastic job."
But for US Presidential aspirant who threatened to ban Muslim from visiting the United States, the new mayor believes his position was risky and could alienate mainstream Muslims.
"Trump's ignorant view of Islam could make both our countries less safe. It risks alienating mainstream Muslims. London has proved him wrong." he said.
