Carol Vorderman rages at UK Government for seizing £155m of Welsh funds

Carol Vorderman has hit out at the UK Government for taking back £155.5m allocated to Wales because the Welsh Government didn't spend it fast enough.

The former Countdown presenter lashed out on Twitter after it emerged that the Treasury had reclaimed the money because the Welsh Government had not spent it in the same financial year, and had refused a request to use it to pay for a £149m overspend in a different Welsh budget.

Writing on Twitter the Welsh maths whizz wrote: "Westminster takes back £150m from Wales as it hadn't been spent fast enough. Are you b***dy joking?"
