He worked as a journalist until taking on the full-time position as Mayor. The Council was short-listed for Council of the Year in 2010 in what was described as a "Meteoric rise".[1]

He was re-elected at the May 2006 mayoral election, the May 2010 mayoral election and subsequently in the May 2014 mayoral election.[2] He was Leader of Hackney Council from June 2001 to October 2002.
