UKIP leader Paul Nuttall might struggle to convince voters he can not only “talk the talk” but “walk the walk” – after starring in a hilarious party political broadcast that appears to show him walking on the spot.
Nuttall looks like he is bobbing up and down in the cringe-worthy clip as he walks along a seafront in an apparently reflective mood.
Once Nuttall’s “walk of shame” is over he places his hands on top of a wall and stares out across the sea as a voiceover says: “Who’s looking after you, and who really does put our country first?”
A cutaway then appears to show the shambolic Ukipper in London as he says: “We want to cut immigration, we want a more secure Britain, we want to prioritise the NHS over foreign aid, we want to protect British culture, and we want a modern and fair democracy.”
It is not clear where Nuttall took his seafront stroll but he is running to be an MP in the coastal town of Boston and Skegness in the General Election on June 8.

Struggling Ukip appear to be losing voters ahead of the snap election, with one opinion poll finding they had dropped from 9% to 5% in terms of public support.
The party’s immigration spokesman claimed Brits need to take to the fields and pick fruit to drive down net migration.
Ukip’s existence is said to be hanging in the balance after they were obliterated in council elections across England – losing all but one of the 145 seats it was defending.
