A TWITTER video featuring 80s pop star turned Thurrock councillor David van Day and Conservative general election candidate Jackie Doyle-Price has attracted a huge audience.

Among those who have commentated on the festive, pre-election offering is comedian Matt Lucas whose short and caustic comment ridicules the footage.

Thurrock NubNews has no political affiliation and we do not comment on the message contained in the video – but it is worth seeing, if only for tragic comedic value!
