Watch: Ed Balls’ handshake left hanging by a voter in a Newark supermarket

Shadow chancellor Ed Balls and deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman are shunned by a Newark voter when out shopping in Morrisons.

By Media Mole

Well, this voter knows exactly how to deal with such a situation. Watch as Ed Balls’ handshake is left hanging:

Burn.
