  looks like i have misread the situation and boris lost his cool because he is not ahead in the polls as i thought, this from the independent website.
  
  
  
  London's Mayor is one of the sharpest performers in the politics, who has got the better of hard nosed interviewers like Jeremy Paxman and kept cool while being taunted by the professional comics on Have I Got News For You. Today's outburst prompted the question whether he feels the London mayoralty slipping away to his older opponent - because defeat in May would be a shattering setback for one of the most ambitious men in modern politics.
  
  He was possibly provoked by the Twitter poll that LBC was running while the four candidates were on air. Half way through, it was showing Johnson and Livingstone in front on 25 per cent each, but at the end of the hour, Livingstone and Paddick were level on 24 per cent while Johnson was trailing on 16. The poll is unscientific and self-selecting, but it allowed Livingstone's people to claim that Johnson had lost his rag because he had lost the debate.
  
  Also, it should be said in Johnson's defence that very few politicians who can match Livingstone's special talent for driving others to fury, partly through the manner in which he makes outrageous accusations in that nasal London twang.
