Could Carol Vorderman be a Labour candidate at the next general election?<\/p>\n
The former Countdown star, 62, who was axed from her BBC radio show after she refused to tone down her anti-Tory social media posts, tells me she has some big news.<\/p>\n
‘I know what’s about to come: there is a lot of news to be announced and I’m really happy,’ she tells me at The Women in Film & Television Awards at the London Hilton Park Lane.<\/p>\n
‘I’m looking forward to the general election happening as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
‘Dismantling the Tory Party is my aim for the rest of next year.’<\/p>\n

Could Carol Vorderman be a Labour candidate at the next general election?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The former Countdown star, 62, was axed from her BBC radio show after she refused to tone down her anti-Tory social media posts<\/p>\n
Vorderman was told to leave her job at BBC Radio Wales after she breached the corporation’s guidelines.<\/p>\n
She said she was ‘not prepared’ to stop airing her ‘strong beliefs’ on X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram.<\/p>\n
She had used social media to launch regular attacks on the Conservatives.<\/p>\n
She has called for the ‘dismantling’ of the Tory party ‘vote by vote’ and branded ministers a ‘lying bunch of greedy, corrupt, destructive, hateful, divisive, gaslighting crooks’.<\/p>\n
She tells me: ‘I haven’t felt a second of regret because I’ve never felt freer, or that my life has more purpose than it does now.’<\/p>\n
