Tory candidate Greg Knight has posted a jingle-heavy campaign video days before the UK general election.

East Yorkshire Conservative candidate Greg Knight has posted a campaign clip that has spurred a ripple of take-offs - with dance moves.

The 1980s-style jingle has prompted YouTubers to post numerous spoofs of Mr Knight's campaign video, with one incorporating dance moves from 80s popstar Jimmy Somerville.

The UK election is on June 8.
