Carol Vorderman has been branded “delusional” after she called out the “appalling” behaviour in Parliament during Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement. On Wednesday (March 26), the chancellor shared the outlined a fresh set of cuts to government spending without raising taxes, blaming a dramatic slowdown in the growth.
The MP faced a major setback in the hours before delivering the statement when the government’s official spending watchdog rejected its forecasts for how much its welfare cuts would save. Ms Reeves promised changes were consistent with plans to cut the benefit bill announces last week, despite admitting the government was forced to make “final adjustments to the overall package”. Now, the 64-year-old has hit out at MPs about the Spring Statement online – but spared Ms Reeves.
Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – she wrote: “The jeering and behaviour of MPs during #SpringStatement really is appalling. Can’t hear what Rachel Reeves is saying half the time. Jeez.”
It didn’t take long before fans flooded to the comments to shut down the former Countdown presenter. One user penned: “Where has your opposition for these cruel cuts been Carol? You helped create this fiasco and yet haven’t bothered your backside to challenge them on this.”
Another agreed: “Yes, how dare they be rude to Her Majesty while she pushes 400,000 people into poverty and withdraws benefits from 1 million disabled people.” A third echoed: “It was what she was saying that they weren’t happy about. Can’t believe you think what is going on is OK.
"You need to take a long hard look at yourself. You are on the wrong side but for some unknown reason you can’t see it. Why?” A fourth chimed in with: “What? I heard every word, unfortunately. I reckon your ears have gone into denial.”
Earlier this week, the TV presenter was hit with backlash after she branded UK supporters of Donald Trump "eejits". The 64-year-old quoted a headline on her X page, writing: "Trump says UK 'out of line' and threatens to expand tariffs to Europe as trade war fears grow."
Carol added: "Right wing Trump fans here seem to want the UK to fail and to damage their own people .....eejits...." The social media post was inundated with criticism as the former Countdown presenter was called out for the remark.
