A Twitter spat has emerged between Lee Anderson, thel MP for Ashfield, and the TV presenter Carol Vorderman. It started with Vorderman tweeting about some Conservative MPs not including their political party in their Twitter bio – and descended into disputes over grammar and the pair telling each other to “act your age”.
It started when Vorderman 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?”
She went on to post about a number of Conservative MP's who didn't mention their party allegiance in the bio, including former Prime Ministers Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, former Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi, and COP26 President Alok Sharma. She then posted about Anderson.
