Sadiq Khan was officially declared the first Muslim Mayor of London last night after comfortably defeating Tory rival Zac Goldsmith.

The result from City Hall was a glimmer of light for Jeremy Corbyn from an otherwise dire set of election results.

In a clear dig at Mr Goldsmith’s campaign, which had been portrayed as ‘divisive’, Mr Khan said: ‘This election was not without controversy and I’m so proud that Londoners have today chosen hope over fear and unity over division.’
