Former Cabinet Minister David Mellor has been secretly recorded ranting at a London cabbie, according to The Sun newspaper.
Mellor, who co-presents an LBC radio show with ex-mayor Ken Livingstone, is said to have told the cabbie to 'f*** off'.
The former Conservative MP's tirade was recorded on the cabbie's phone during a journey from Buckingham Palace.

Mellor and the taxi driver, who is not named, started rowing over the quickest route.
Mellor is heard telling the cabbie: 'Just drive me there' before launching into a rant.
