Ukip leader Paul Nuttall has been mocked for seemingly walking on the spot during his party's latest political broadcast.

In the clip, aired on the BBC earlier this week, Mr Nuttall looks to be moving his legs but not covering any ground, creating a bizarre treadmill effect.

The video then shows the MEP placing his hands over a wall and staring out to sea in the same position he was in on previous cut.

The scene was quickly noted on Twitter with user Ross Fairbairn posting: 'Is it just me or is Paul Nuttall just walking on the spot in the UKIP party political broadcast? Hahaha'.

Meanwhile Ross Lawson replied saying: 'That's an outrageous suggestion. Paul Nuttall is in fact the inventor of the moonwalk. Showed it to Michael Jackson back in '82.'

A cutaway then shows the Merseyside born politician outside Westminster as he outlines his party's pledges.

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.'

Mr Nuttall is standing for the anti-EU party in Boston & Skegness in Lincolnshire in the General Election

Mr Nuttall is standing for the anti-EU party in Boston & Skegness in Lincolnshire in the General Election although it is unclear if the leader was in the coastal town during the filming for the broadcast.

Despite shedding more than 100 councillors and winning only one seat in May's council elections Mr Nuttall, who succeed Nigel Farage as leader, insisted his party has a 'bright future.'

Campaigning in the constituency he is hoping to seize for Ukip on June 8, Mr Nutall said: 'Ukip does have a great future. It just has to stay on the pitch, hold its ground and people will come back to us.'
