Vorderman writes political diary to sum up Tory rule

- By Daily Telegraph Reporter

CAROL VORDERMAN will publish a political diary on how she “exposed the incompeten­ce and lies” of the Conservati­ve Government.

Out Of Order: What’s Gone Wrong With Britain And One Woman’s Mission To Fix It will be published on Sept 12 and supported by her Carol Vorderman Live! Out Of Order tour across 11 dates in the UK. The book is billed as “part diary, part political manifesto” and sees the former Countdown star “reveal the intricate web of influence responsibl­e for our nation’s unravellin­g”.

Vorderman, 63, said: “I’ve been fighting this appalling Tory government with evidence and data, looking into the morally corrupt and questionab­le contracts they’ve signed with donors and associates. It’s endless, and exhausting and heartbreak­ing. I’ve never known this country in such a state, with so lit- tle help and hope offered to those who need it. But the tide has turned and I’m proud to have been a part of it.”

She added: “Out Of Order explores the blatant hypocrisy of those who govern us and how they make the system work for them and not for us. It’s a rollicking read including the fights, being bullied, Tory resignatio­ns, and what goes on behind the scenes, but I hope it will show you how your voice can be heard.”

Publisher Headline said the book showed “how we can all find our voice and stand up for what we believe in”.

The announceme­nt comes months after Vorderman left her BBC radio show after the broadcaste­r introduced new social media guidelines.

Vorderman will perform 11 shows across the UK from Sept 13 to 30. Out Of Order will be published in hardback, ebook and audiobook on Sept 12.
