Carol Vorderman slams Maria Caulfield for 'cup of tea' in menopause row

Bristol star Carol Vordeman has found herself caught up in a Twitter row with Women's Minister Maria Caulfield over a controversial menopause hearing, which she failed to attend.. The former Countdown star said the women's minister could not "be bothered to turn up" to a committee hearing and has called for her to "resign."

Caulfield took to Twitter a day after the Women and Equalities Committee session to say she had been unable to attend as she was with campaigners at a meeting “which had been in the diary for months”.

According to the Mirror, the MP, who is also minister for women’s health strategy, tweeted that she was “not a punch bag” and said anyone who posted “misleading information” about her would be blocked on the social media platform.
