London Mayor Boris Johnson appeared alongside Labour leader Ed Miliband on the BBC Andrew Marr show. Their encounter descended into a personal attack when Boris Johnson claimed Ed Miliband would 'do more damage to the country than he did to his brother.' Miliband went against his brother for leadership of the Labour party in 2010, and consequently beat him, hence why Boris Johnson referenced a 'dagger in the back' and launched the personal attack against Ed Miliband to which he laughed off saying 'Come on Boris, you're better than that.'
Personally I think that Boris Johnson just got caught up in the moment and spoke without thinking. Although this is unprofessional for a man of his importance, I think the controversy is a bit over the top such as calling his comments a 'personal attack'.
