David Cameron may have got the Tories chuckling during his keynote conference speech on Wednesday after he jokingly impersonated former Foreign Secretary William Hague - but it seems that Twitter is less than impressed.
Speaking at the party conference in Birmingham, Cameron mimicked Hague's famous teenage conference speech, saying "Some of you won't be here in 30 years time," in a slightly dodgy Yorkshire accent.
"All right, I won't give up the day job," the PM added, as horrified social media users took to Twitter to voice their mortification.
During his speech, Cameron sparked outrage after stating that Hague was "the greatest living Yorkshireman," something, again, that Twitter invariably disagreed with.
So, HuffPost UK rounded up at least 9 challengers (excluding the great Yorkshirewomen like Dame Judi Dench, Jessica Ennis, Barbara Hepworth and Helen Sharman, Britain's first astronaut).
Greatest Living Yorkshireman

Eric Pickles(03 of10)

But the Communities Secretary did order town centres to rip up all their unnecessary barriers and signage that stop people walking across the road where they choose. This author thinks that puts him in contention. (credit:Ben Birchall/PA Wire)

Patrick Stewart (07 of10)
Open Image ModalProbably the most famous face of Yorkshire in Hollywood, but he's fronted campaigns for Labour. "I have always passionately believed there are aspects of a just society that can only be achieved under the Labour Party," he says. So perhaps understandable that DC didn't give him top billing.

Jarvis Cocker(09 of10)
Open Image ModalThe Sheffield-born Pulp front man did once flirt with the Conservatives, telling NME in 2010 that Gordon Brown "makes a mockery of the whole system". "A Conservative government is necessary. There is no credible alternative. You can sense an era passing," he said. But he later denied he was a "Tory boy", in a subsequent interview. Maybe that knocked him off DC's list. (credit:Jon Furniss/Invision/AP)
