Carol Vorderman told MPs that government ministers "don't give a stuff" about the menopause after reading a heart-wrenching testimony from women suffering in the workplace. The 62-year-old former Countdown star relayed experiences from working class women on how they had been treated by employers, as she attended a Women and Equalities Committee hearing.
Carol, who herself is a patron for campaign group Menopause Mandate, began by saying: “These are working class women. They don't have the voice, they don't necessarily have the confidence or the ability and the structure and the process to go through."
She then added: "There stories go on and on and on, hundreds of them have been coming in. These women have to be listened to and it has to change, we keep coming back to the same conversation. It's the 21st century and where are the ministers? It shows me they don't have any willingness, it shows me that actually they don't give a stuff about what's happening to all these women, and they don't care."
