Carol Vorderman has gone on the offensive against Home Secretary Suella Braverman, after the politician tweeted her ‘thoughts and prayers’ in response to the tragic drowning of six asylum seekers in the English Channel this weekend.
The Countdown star, 62, made it clear she was not happy with Braverman’s response, who is known to support controversial proposals to stop small boats crossing. Braverman's full tweet read: ‘My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tragic loss of life in the Channel today. This morning I spoke with our Border Force teams who have been supporting the French authorities in response to this incident.’
Vorderman was quick to take to Twitter to express her feelings: ‘You are the very worst of the worst, utterly undeserving of the position you hold. You decry everything that has been good in this country during my lifetime, seeking to cause division at every turn. I am ashamed of you and the govt in which you self-serve.’
The TV star took to Instagram to add: ‘After her rhetoric and policies, boarding refugees onto Bibby Stockholm apparently before health and safety results which showed Legionella bacteria, and the tragic loss of life yesterday, Braverman should resign. In any other govt in my lifetime, that would have happened by now.’
Vorderman is no stranger to giving the Tories a piece of her mind, having previously called out the likes of ‘disgusting’ Boris Johnson over his flagrant lockdown rule-breaking during the pandemic. More recently, she took aim at the Conservative cabinet office minister Johnny Mercer and his wife Felicity Cornelius-Mercer over their substantial pay packets after they rubbished claims struggling British Army workers were reliant on food banks.
The Agency has reached out to Braverman’s office for comment, and we await further updates. In the meantime, it is clear that Carol Vorderman is not afraid to speak her mind, and is ready to challenge those she believes are not doing enough to help those in need.
