British Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid has called actor Hugh Grant "incredibly rude" for refusing to shake his hand at a film premiere.

Responding on Twitter, Grant explained that he declined the handshake because of Javid's "rude and dismissive" attitude to press abuse victims when he met them as culture secretary.

Is it ever okay to refuse to shake someone's hand, even if you dislike what they stand for?
