Carol Vorderman goes to war Tory MP Lee Anderson in Twitter spat telling him to 'get a grip'

The Ashfield MP Lee Anderson and TV host Carol Vorderman are engaged in a Twitter dispute. It all began when Vorderman tweeted about certain Tory MPs who didn't list their political party in their Twitter bios; from there, it spiralled into arguments over grammar and the duo instructing each other to "act your age."

It started when Carol tweeted: “I WANT YOUR HELP. I've noticed a number of Tory MP & councillors removing mention of them being Tories from their social media profiles. I'd like to collate them and do some statistical work on this (you know I like numbers!). CAN YOU SCREENSHOT ANY YOU FIND AND POST HERE?”

The former Prime Ministers Theresa May, Boris Johnson, and Liz Truss, as well as the COP26 president Alok Sharma, and the former chancellor Nadhim Zahawi, were among the Tory MPs she mentioned in her tweet. She later posted about Anderson.
