CITY VIEWS: DO YOU THINK BORIS JOHNSON IS THE CHAMPION OF THE CITY?

GRAEME JONES CITIBANK
“He’s a good ambassador for the City. He’s willing to go to Brussels to fight for the biggest industry in the UK, which is the financial sector and he’s doing a good job of it. I believe he has the personality to do it – his charisma isn’t a hindrance.”

HANNAH DOBSON SMITH WILLIAMS
“I voted for him and I believe he is much better for the City than Ken. He seems to have vanished somewhat recently, so it’s good to see he’s representing London again. I’d vote for again but I’d like to seem him fulfil on some other promises.”

DAN MCGING BANK OF ENGLAND
“I wouldn’t call him the champion of the City. But it sounds like he’s doing the right thing by going to Brussels. I personally think he’s just a clown, but it doesn’t affect his job. I think he’s justifying the role of Mayor more than Ken did.”
