Rishi Sunak was accused of "pointless posture" in a campaign video focused on shredding EU regulations being likened to parody .
A Tory party leader candidate, if elected prime minister, will use his first 100 days to "reconsider or repeal post-Brexit EU law." swore
Sunak tweeted: Review all his EU laws in our Statutes. Start with the first 100 days. Let's keep Brexit safe.
The video opens with a close-up of a folded piece of paper taped to the door that reads "Brexit Delivery Department." A man comes in and has a paper shredder and a stack of papers and a box with the top sheet reading 'EU Legislation', 'EU Red Tape' and 'EU Bureaucracy'.
"Well," said the man, putting his hands on his hips to see what was going on.
The message says:
Shredding a piece of paper that says 'EU legislation' leaves a pile of shredded paper with the campaign slogan 'Keep Brexit Safe'.
Beethoven's Ode to Joy, which is also the national anthem of the European Union, is played and documents are shredded.

Writer and TV host Richard Othman said on his Twitter:
BBC presenter Gary Lineker also mocked the video, tweeting, "Political parody he loves his account."
