Boris Johnson for Prime Minister

Boris Johnson has refused to say sorry after being filmed swearing at a taxi driver during a late-night street row in London.

The London Mayor was cycling home after a dinner, when a cabbie spotted him and decided to give him a piece of his mind.

But Mr Johnson gave as good as he got, shouting back: "F*** off and die."

Asked whether he would apologise for the comments to the driver, Mr Johnson said: "I think it comes under the heading of getting the ball back over the net.

"It was a gentle attempt at return of serve. That's what it was."
