Carol Vorderman could not be accused of wasting any time. The day after the erstwhile star of Countdown quit her weekly BBC Radio Wales show, saying she would “not be silenced” by the corporation’s new social media guidelines, she got down to business.
Within the space of a few hours on Thursday, Vorderman used her preferred social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to celebrate Sayeeda Warsi “blasting many Tories”, accuse the Department for Work and Pensions of “controlling behaviour”, take a pop at the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, reflect that the NHS’s record waiting list meant “yet another Sunak promise lies in tatters”, and delight that the Conservatives and the home secretary, Suella Braverman, were struggling in the polls.
