WATCH: Mayor of London tells local cabbie to ’F**k off and die’

London Mayor Boris Johnson was filmed earlier this morning having a furious row with a cab driver in the city.

Johnson, who's also a Conservative MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, was cycling home (as he is famously known for) on St John's Street in Islington when he became embroiled in foul-mouthed altercation with the taxi driver over the cab-booking service Uber.

A passer-by filmed the row - at around 12.20am - on their phone and you can clearly hear Johnson say "F*** off and die, and not in that order" to the abusive cab driver, who was also said to be making rude hand gestures towards the mayor.
