Dave Cam on the door cam! Foreign Secretary David Cameron captured by Ring system while (very politely) canvassing for Tory MP in Hampshire ahead of the election
A family was stunned yesterday when they checked their Ring door cam footage and discovered a very polite David Cameron on their driveway.
The Foreign Secretary was putting in the hard yards in Eastleigh in Hampshire alongside local Tory candidate Paul Holmes, which is seeking to retain the seat.
In a clip already viewed more than 400,000 times on TikTok Lord Cameron, the former PM, was shown rocking up to a suburban home. He then left a characteristically polite message and a leaflet when he found there was no one home.
'Hi, it's David Cameron. I was calling because of the election on July 4,' he said.
'I'm here with Paul Holmes, your local MP, who's keen to win your support on July 4 and we'll be leaving one of these in your door. Thanks very much, have a good day.'
Holly Alison, 19, posted the footage with the comment: 'Wasn't expecting that.'

Today Lord Cameron was among dignitaries in Portsmouth for events marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
He joined other leading politicians an d the Prince of Wales for the start of two days of remembrance events to mark the historic milestone.
He will join Rishi Sunak in Normandy tomorrow, where the Prime minister will deliver a short speech at Ver-sur-Mer and lead a 'heroes' welcome' for the surviving veterans of the major military offensive.
It came as Rishi Sunak was offered a glimmer of hope in his bid to overturn the odds at the general election as Tories celebrated his performance in last night's TV debate.
The Prime Minister's allies crowed about how their man left Labour's Sir Keir Starmer exposed during the fiery head-to-head clash on ITV.
They claimed it was 'astonishing' that Sir Keir 'didn't really have any answers' as he and Mr Sunak were quizzed about voters' key issues.

Mr Sunak said it was a choice between him and Sir Keir for No10, saying his opponent would 'raise your taxes and raid your pensions'
A snap YouGov poll also found that 51 per cent thought Mr Sunak won the debate, with 49 per cent plumping for the Labour leader.
Senior Labour figures were left fuming at the PM's 'lies' about their tax plans, after Mr Sunak berated Sir Keir for plotting to hike the tax burden for Brits by £2,000.
Jonathan Ashworth, a leading member of Labour's shadow cabinet, told Sky News this morning: 'Last night what was exposed was just how desperate Rishi Sunak has become.
'Because he lied about Labour's tax plans. What he said last night about Labour's tax plans is categorically untrue.
'Labour will not put up income tax, not put up national insurance, will not put up VAT.
'What we saw last night with Rishi Sunak was how desperate he becomes. What desperate people do is they lie.'
But Cabinet minister Claire Coutinho doubled down on the Tory claims about Labour's tax plans, telling the BBC: 'I thought it was astonishing that Keir Starmer, on all the big issues, didn't really have any answers.
'There was no plan there and one of the things that was most worrying is the £2,000 in extra tax rises that his proposals would mean for working families - he simply couldn't rule that out.'
'These are official costings from the Treasury based on policies that the Labour Party has set out in documents that they have said will be in the manifesto.'
