A 65-year-old retired journalist has accused Ed Balls’ limo of running him over then driving off at a TUC conference. Tony Patey was admitted to hospital with a gashed leg after the alleged incident. He told the Sun:

“It rammed the front of my left leg, throwing me against the passenger door. I’m not sure who was more shocked, Mr Balls or me. His eyes and mouth were wide open.”

When will our streets be made safe from this menace?
