It seems that Labour have a secret weapon in their local election campaign. For months now, Carol Vorderman has been on a one-woman war against the Tories, taking to Twitter to decry the incumbent government. The former Countdown star is a devotee of the all caps tweet, railing against her onetime friend turned bête noire Michelle Mone with such understated gems as ‘the greed of the rich knows no limit ALWAYS remember that’. Her online crusade has also been conducted in the TV studios, including an earnest speech about Rishi Sunak’s financial investments on ITV’s This Morning, to the bemusement of fellow guests Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.
Her latest campaign though is a positively Herculean feat of investigative journalism. It involves going through the Twitter biographies of every elected Conservative politician in the UK and discovering if they list their party affiliation or not. Eat your heart out Washington Post.
