Thank you!

By Boris Johnson

Yesterday I signed the Declaration of Acceptance of Office at City Hall which confirmed me as the Mayor of London for the next four years.

In my speech, I repeated my thanks to the people of London for giving me a second mandate and I promised everybody in this city that I and my team will work our socks off to deliver on our vision and our programme for London.

I especially want to thank those of you who have helped me over many months now. Without so many people from every corner of the world’s greatest city who knocked on doors, delivered leaflets, made the phone calls, forwarded the emails, tweeted in support and backed me throughout the campaign I would not have succeeded in this quest.

I am honoured and grateful. I feel like some overweight Alpinist carried on the shoulders of others to the summit of a great mountain.

Your efforts and support carried me to victory and I say “thank you” for everything that you have done.

I will deploy every sinew of my body in the task of driving London forward with the 9 point plan I took to the people of London - ensuring growth, jobs, investment and a better future.

Thank you. The work begins.
