Nigel Farage has welcomed Carol Vorderman’s intention (or threat) to “enter the political fight” this year. And thrown down the gauntlet for her to stand against him in his Clacton constituency…
Asked by Guido’s News Editor Max Young for his response to Vorderman’s attack in the Telegraph yesterday, the Reform leader said:
“I’m looking forward to it, marvellous. Do you know, people can abuse me all they like. I never, ever bother to return the compliment. I might’ve teased people over the years for being ‘damp rags’, but I’ve never actually realy verbally assaulted or abused anybody. I’m not going to start now. It’s sad. But hey, bring it on. Come and stand in Clacton. We will look forward to seeing you.”
Carol for Clacton? The countdown is on…
The plan:
All to be paid for by reintroducing the two-child benefit cap…

“At a recent Shadow Cabinet, a debate broke out. The question was put the group: is Britain broken? I said: it’s broken. Almost all said: it’s not broken. And we were told that’s the party line. A few had a third view. It is broken but we can’t say so because the Conservative Party broke it. If they won’t admit publicly to you – the people – what they broke, how can you have any faith they will fix it? The Conservative Party in Westminster isn’t sorry. Still doesn’t get it. And hasn’t really changed.“
