I would not be enthusiastic about shaking the hand of any tory, but a hand-shake does not express agreement, and refusing to is very rude.

I might have some sympathy for the Saj if he hadn't done the whole working class schtick here - just being the son of a bus driver doesn't stop you being a dick.

Perhaps it is, but it's - at least from Grant's point of view - a continuation of prior rude behaviour that Javid initiated.  What goes around comes around?
