Sheffield’s Lord Mayor Magid Magid, along with comedian and actor Rufus Hound, have decided to brighten up the days of Sheffield businesses smarting from England’s loss to Croatia in the World Cup semi-final.

“We know many of you will be feeling disappointed and down about yesterday’s [football] result, so me & Rufus Hound are giving you guys the opportunity for us to come to your place of work to cheer you up with some treats!” tweeted Mr Magid. “Just tweet us your address and we’ll rock up!”

Businesses have already begun sending over their addresses, and Sheffield’s youngest ever Lord Mayor has already begun his travels, visiting the Good Things Foundation this morning:

Thanks for popping by the @goodthingsfdn office to bring us post World Cup treats @MagicMagid @RufusHound. Certainly brightened up everyone’s day after the disappointment last night! #sheffieldissuper #Sheffield pic.twitter.com/2oXY0seUgm — GoodThingsFoundation (@goodthingsfdn) July 12, 2018

“Ok now here is the side of politics I want to see more of in this country!” tweeted the foundation’s Director of Social Inclusion Roz Davies.

Messrs Hound and Magid also made it to Birdhouse Tea Co.:

And data science company Jaywing:

Sheffield Doc/Fest, Shelter Sheffield, young people’s charity Sheffield Futures and The Workstation office space are among the other organisations that have called on the duo to save them from their post-football blues. We’ll keep you updated if we see any photos from them.

A different kind of Lord Mayor

Magid Magid rose to acclaim after his election in May, when his mayoral portrait featured him in Doc Martens alongside his ceremonial chains.

He is the first ever Green party representative in the role, and has vowed to tackle right-wing politics, racism and homophobia among other issues.

He recently made headlines after saying President Donald Trump would not be welcome in the steel city during his UK visit, adding that Mr Trump was a “wasteman”.
